Hmmm. Now I look back at them I think I messed up the instructions to you. Sorry about that :-(

The script is trying to search the normal $PATH variable for terminator, and finding... itself! That will be what causes the deadlock and inactivity. I think I did my first test slightly differently, and then cocked up the instructions to you.

I checked the committed fix in a local debian package and it all worked for me.

To expedite this I have forced an immediate build of the nightlies, which have already completed. Just do your normal update and upgrade cycle, and you should have the new (working for me) fix. Note that you might have to reset the alternative once installed:

$ sudo update-alternative --set x-terminal-emulator /usr/bin/terminator.wrapper

If there's a problem with the fix too, then I'll revert the change and kick off another build.
