Wrong icon in dock for pantheon-terminal opened with Ctrl+Alt+T

[Arthur Tucker]

When Pantheon Terminal is opened with Ctrl+Alt+T, Plank shows root terminal icon from some fallback theme.

Thanks for your report! Could you please run "update-alternatives --query x-terminal-emulator" and post output?

[Arthur Tucker (mars11)]

Yeah, sure here's the output:
test@test-VirtualBox:~$ update-alternatives --query x-terminal-emulator
Link: x-terminal-emulator
Status: auto
Best: /usr/bin/pantheon-terminal
Value: /usr/bin/pantheon-terminal

Alternative: /usr/bin/pantheon-terminal
Priority: 35
test@test-VirtualBox:~$

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

Well, this output indicates that running "x-terminal-emulator" should launch pantheon-terminal. Could you post a screenshot of the terminal that's started so we can understand the problem better?

[Arthur Tucker (mars11)]

Everything looks like the pantheon-terminal except for the icon on Plank.

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

I can confirm it. Must be a bug in either Plank or BAMF.

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

Only starts happening after I kill Plank (and Cerbere respawns it).

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

Okay, it does not start only after killing Plank.

I've tracked down one difference in Ctrl+Alt+T spawning, as opposed to normal launch: the terminal has "x-terminal-emulator" process name.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

Marking elementaryos affected because we'll have to do something in it to fix the bug (cherrypick a patch or something).

[Dani Pratomo (daneepee)]

I just change keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+T from "x-terminal-emulator" to "pantheon-terminal" through System Settings

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

I wrote a wrapper to update-alternatives that happens to work around this bug. I'm working on integrating it in the OS.

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

The workaround should land with the next metapackage update.

You can obtain it manually with "sudo apt-get install user-specific-alternatives"
