[Bug 366644] Re: terminator does not honor x-terminal-emulator -e option
It is a new problem with it. According to xterm man page, xterm -e [command] [command options] sould works. In practice, it work only with gnome-terminal: gnome-terminal -e mc /home/dom With terminator -e mc /home/dom it fail. I must use quoting: terminator -e "mc /home/dom" which can be complicated if some command option already use quoting. This is the same issue with xfce4-terminal and the Debien x-terminal- emulator, that on both gentoo and Debian sid. What do we do?

Andrea, that's a good idea. Another possibility would be a preference setting. Both solutions are not exclusive. If no pref is defined then follow the policy, or not, depending on how it is launched. If the pref is defined, use the prefered policy in both cases.

[Bug 366644] Re: terminator does not honor x-terminal-emulator -e option
I proposed that behavior for two reasons: 1. if one invokes x-terminal-emulator, he expects that it behaves like any x-terminal-emulator; and 2. this is a common behavior. Examples include: adduser (which can be invoked as addgroup), bash (which can be invoked as sh) and zsh (which can be invoked as sh or ksh). So I'm in favor of the invocation name+setting alternative, rather than just the setting. For completeness, here is an another alternative: copy and adapt gnome- terminal.wrapper. This is a perl wrapper around gnome-terminal that is used for x-terminal-emulator. It is very short and adapting consists in changing just the last line. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366644 Title: terminator does not honor x-terminal-emulator -e option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-terminal/+bug/366644/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The policy would suggest that GNOME Terminal is not suitable either, since its -x is xterm's -e, and it doesn't support -T.

[Bug 366644] Re: terminator does not honor x-terminal-emulator -e option
This is a big mess. Here on gentoo, terminator -x man fvwm give me the correct result. But terminator -x "man fvwm" give me terminator with a blank console and "Impossible de démarrer le shell man fvwm" (Impossible to start the shell man fvwm). The message should be "Impossible de démarrer la commande man fvwm" (Impossible to start the command man fvwm). With other terminals: gnome-terminal -e man fvwm give me nothing (same result than terminator -x man fvwm). gnome-terminal -e "man fvwm" is working fine (like terminator -x man fvwm). xterm -e "man fvwm" and xterm -e man fvwm are both working fine. I guess that this is the appropriate behavior. aterm -e man fvwm is working fine, but aterm -e "man fvwm" give me nothing. All that imply that one that will make some code that depend on /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator or whatever your wm is using ($DefaultTerminal here), must test which term is in use and adapt the output in consequence. For terminator, I think that the best way would be to work like xterm, that is with both '-e command' and '-e "command". But that is not a big deal for me, I already adapted my code by adding one more test and the use of the -x option instead of -e for terminator.
