Comment 6 for bug 651578

I think there are more problems besides 621927. I've still been having problems even after applying the env_replace patch. It's almost impossible to debug because it only affects packaged versions when run via the desktop file. If I try to run it from another shell or recompile it independently of the packaging and symlink that to /usr/bin the bug magically disappears.

I noticed that vte_terminal_form_command() is deprecated for vte_terminal_fork_command_full() so I started using that and if I rebuild 1.18.5 with this change I don't get the problem so I hope this fixes it, but I have my doubts :-(.

I've made the patch so that it can just be added with quilt after env_replace. It has to change configure and config.h.in for this to work (adding to my difficulties!).
