Package: guake Version: 0.5.0-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
disclaimer: i love guake. however, i also use more traditional (windowed) xterms, for separate tasks. since 0.5.0-1, guake provides an alternative for the x-terminal-emulator. great. unfortunately the priority assigned is rather high (50), actually higher than any other terminal installed on my system: /usr/bin/Eterm 10 /usr/bin/koi8rxterm 20 /usr/bin/uxterm 20 /usr/bin/xterm 20 /usr/bin/lxterm 30 /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper 40 /usr/bin/konsole 40 /usr/bin/lxterminal 40 /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal.wrapper 40 /usr/bin/guake 50 given that guake has the highest priority of 10 x-terminal-emulators, this practically enforces guake as *the* x-terminal-emulator when using the defaults. i think this is problematic insofar, as guake has a rather non-standard behaviour, as compared with other xterms: - most of the time, guake will be hidden away - it will not spawn *another* xterm when already running. this leads to the (rather unexpected) behaviour, that starting the xterm (e.g. via the menu, or via a panel) will be silently ignored. following the principle of least suprise, the default should be to not aggressively promote guake as the default x-terminal-emulator, by lowering it's alternative priority. thanks for your consideration. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_AT.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages guake depends on: ii gconf2 3.2.6-3 ii libatk1.0-0 2.14.0-1 ii libc6 2.19-15 ii libcairo2 1.14.0-2.1 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.3 ii libfreetype6 2.5.2-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.31.1-2+b1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.1-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.25-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpangoft2-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpython2.7 2.7.9-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii notification-daemon 0.7.6-2 ii python 2.7.8-3 ii python-dbus 1.2.0-2+b3 ii python-gconf 2.28.1+dfsg-1.1 ii python-glade2 2.24.0-4 ii python-notify 0.1.1-4 ii python-vte 1:0.28.2-5 ii python-xdg 0.25-4 pn python2.7:any <none> ii xfce4-notifyd [notification-daemon] 0.2.4-3 guake recommends no packages. guake suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/xdg/autostart/guake.desktop 66aa631ca8233f14b8f836c7cf5f7892 [Errno 2] Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden: u'/etc/xdg/autostart/guake.desktop 66aa631ca8233f14b8f836c7cf5f7892' -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
