terminal in main menu is linked to gnome-terminal not x-terminal-emulator

[Henti Smith]

when you change your x-terminal-emulator using update-alternatives the function of applications -> Accessories -> terminal should be to open the selected terminal. Instead it opens gnome-terminal all the time.

This should change to exec x-terminal-emulator shell which is linked to the selected terminal emulator as per update-alternatives.

I'm adding it as a comment rather then an additional bug.

When assigning shortcuts using System -> Preferances -> keyboard Shortcuts -> Run a terminal the same problem exists.

It should exec x-terminal-emulator not gnome-terminal as it does currently.

I have however not found where to change this yet.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported, but feel free to report any other bugs you find.

Can you please link to the existing bug.

Thanks.

we doesn't keep easily with the number of bugs and looking for duplicates takes time. I didn't find the number with a quick query, it might be a rejected bug though. The icon should not use the alternative anyway, rather the preferred application from the GNOME capplet and there is no easy way to do that
