Public bug reported:
The GIO sublibrary in GLib has a function called
prepend_terminal_to_vector, which prepare a command line by prepending
it with a valid X terminal name before executing it.
The function as distributed in Glib first search for gnome-terminal before
trying several well-known terminal application.
I believe this is not acceptable in a distribution like Ubuntu, which supports
the x-terminal-emulator alternative to set the preferred terminal to the user.
As it is right now, gnome-panel simply ignores the chosen x-terminal-emulator
as well as the GNOME preferred terminal application (and that is another bug!)
I don't know any other application which expose this bug other than
gnome-panel. Glib applications in Ubuntu should default to x-terminal-
emulator before trying any other kind of terminal emulator.
