Bug#505547: gnome: weird problems opening rxvt from application menu

2008-11-13 Thread Noah Slater
Package: gnome
Version: 1:2.22.2~5
Severity: normal

If you change the terminal application to rxvt instead of gnome-terminal and
open it from the applications menu, an rxvt window appears instantly, but if
move your mouse over the window decoration you get a progress pointer indicating
that something is being done. In the window panel you see ghost window (i.e. it
can't be maximised) that reads Starting Terminal. This goes away after about
10 seconds.

I don't know what causes this, so please reassign as needed.

This is because the panel expects the terminal to understand the startup
notification protocol, which obviously rxvt doesn’t.
