Public bug reported:
I am using Ubuntu 10.10. I did not try on any other version.
I have tried setting the default terminal to (u)Rxvt both using the command
$ update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
and using Sytem->Preferences->Preferred appiications.
My custom application launchers are still opened in gnome-terminal, even
though I changed the default terminal. I have tried to log out and in
again, and also to create new application launchers. By "custom
application launchers", I mean some icons on the top panel that I
created using right click, add to panel, custom application launcher,
then select Application in Terminal.
If I run "x-terminal-emulator" (using e.g. F2), the (correct) terminal I
chose is started.
