winff incompatible with terminator "Expecting zero additional arguments"

[BeatleJoose]

Summary: "terminator does not honor the -e options that programs that provide x-terminal-emulator should"
Using version 0.12 (latest)

I initially submitted a winff bug (http://code.google.com/p/winff/issues/detail?id=39):

----------------------------------------------
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open winff in a terminal (in order to see error messages)
2. navigate to a .avi file
3. click "convert" without changing any settings (all default)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: .avi file conversion
Seen instead:
"
winff
[WARNING] Out of OEM specific VK codes, changing to unassigned
[WARNING] Out of unassigned VK codes, assigning $FF

(winff:21547): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_tree_view_set_cursor_on_cell: assertion

Thank you for reporting issues you encounter.

Work-around: Edit -> Preferences -> Linux
Either insert an other terminal (e.g. /usr/bin/xterm) or provide the proper terminal
option (terminator uses -x)

Unfortunately, what you experience is not a bug in winff, but a bug in the program
that emulates the terminal. Somebody reported yesterday [1] that terminator does not
honor the -e options that programs that provide x-terminal-emulator should. You are
experiencing the same.
