pcmanfm and lxpanel: shell dependend programs not starting

[thom]

version:
    lubuntu 12.10

packages affected:
    pcmanfm
    lxpanel

description:
    pcmanfm and lxpanel can't start programs/scripts in terminal due to a slight config error

possible reason:
    passing a superfluous '-e' option (and %s argument) when calling

pcmanfm:
    error in config:

        x-terminal-emulator -e %s

    this works:

        x-terminal-emulator

/home/username/.config/lxpanel/Lubuntu/config:
    error in config:

       [Command]
        FileManager=pcmanfm %s
        Terminal=lxterminal -e %s
        Logout=lubuntu-logout

    this works:

        [Command]
        FileManager=pcmanfm
        Terminal=lxterminal
        Logout=lubuntu-logout

I hope this will help, Lubuntu is great :-)
