Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.30.2-1
gnome-terminal.wrapper doesn't wait for the executed command to exit if
another instance of gnome-terminal is already running:
$ alias s5="gnome-terminal.wrapper -e sh -c 'sleep 5'"
$ time s5 & time s5 ; wait
[1] 3096
real 0m0.451s
user 0m0.060s
sys 0m0.084s
[1]+ Done time gnome-terminal.wrapper -e sh -c 'sleep 5'
real 0m5.751s
user 0m0.296s
sys 0m0.236s
In contrast, xterm and other x-terminal-emulator providers I'm familiar
with always wait for the command to finish. (I wrote some software that
relies on this nice property, which now breaks if x-t-e alternative
points gnome-terminal.wrapper.)

gnome-terminal.wrapper doesn't wait for the executed command to exit if
another instance of gnome-terminal is already running:
I think that was fixed a while ago.
