Re: [gcmd-dev] root mode terminal

[Michael]

Piotr, 

/desktop/gnome/applications/terminal/exec = roxtem
/desktop/gnome/applications/terminal/exec_arg = -e

Without -e, gcmd root terminal works as expected.

'roxterm -e' belongs to one of 3 defaults in the pull down menu in my users 
gnome-control-center (custom -> fav applications section). I can't remember if 
i added this manually some years ago though. Anyway, both other entries - the 
debian default terminal (x-terminal-emulator) and the xterm entry - include a 
'-e' too, and the menu entry 'roxterm -e' itself is not configurable as user 
(but i can set up a custom command with 'roxterm' alone).

[It is possible to change the system defaults of course, but certainly that's 
something for package managers to do, not for end users, and before any request 
we'd need to understand why the -e is there in the first place.]
