Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

To reproduce:

1 Set out to make a Custom terminal command say "gnome-terminal -geometry 80x40"
2 System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications
3 System Tab
4 Select Custom
5 Start typing "gnome-terminal -geometry 80x40"

Bug: As soon as you type the "l" at the end of "gnome-terminal", the dialog changes and you are out of Custom and it sets itself to GNOME Terminal and all the input boxes are grey.

Expected: I should be able to type the whole command.

If you want to notice that it's the same as a preset *when I'm finished typing* and then offer me the choice to select the preset that would be ok.

I worked around this by pasting in the whole command.
