I have been using this external editor command for the Sylpheed mailer:

  gnome-terminal --disable-factory -x vim '%s'

This allows launching a terminal with vi so that I can capture shell
command output, edit things with vi and insert files and such. This is
a very powerful and important feature.

However after installing F24, this no longer works. The
--disable-factory option is no longer supported. It launches but after
returning control to Sylpheed, the content is lost. Nothing is
inserted into the message. I can only assume this has something to do
with --disable-factory.

Does anyone have a recommended work-around?

I know gnome-terminal is "special" so perhaps there is another
terminal for Fedora?

What is the most popular terminal other than gnome-terminal?

I pretty much only use Linux for the shell and vi. I have about 10
terminals on 5 workspaces going concurrently. So I'm hoping hard that
there are still decent terminals around.
