I think I have found the problem - the default setting for the terminal is wrong in Lubuntu. Do Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced Tab and add the option -e to the string so it reads "x-terminal-emulator -e %s" - this calls lxterminal with the -e option which opens the terminal and executes the command line in %s. See man lxterminal. For more clarity change the string to "lxterminal -e %s"
