x-terminal-emulator being launched with incorrect parameters

[Federico Ceratto]

Hello and thanks for your nice time tracker.

On my Debian systems I use terminator as my default terminal:

$ ls -la /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 May 14 2008 /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator -> /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 19 May 28 2009 /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator -> /usr/bin/terminator

When I try to generate a report terminator is being run and it quits producing the following error:

$ x-terminal-emulator -e mutt -H /tmp/tmpdk3VGLgtimelog
Usage: x-terminal-emulator [options]

x-terminal-emulator: error: Additional unexpected arguments found: ['/tmp/tmpdk3VGLgtimelog']

GTimeLog is making assumptions on how x-terminal-emulator handle parameters.

The fix, for terminator, is very simple - just add some quoting:

x-terminal-emulator -e "mutt -H /tmp/tmpdk3VGLgtimelog"

Thanks

Fixed in trunk.

Note that the command passed to x-terminal-emulator is stored in ~/.gtimelog/gtimelogrc and GTimeLog won't change existing config files. The fix I committed makes GTimeLog write the correct version when it creates the config file on first run. You'll have to make the change yourself if you already have a gtimelogrc.
