x-terminal-emulator does not honor -e option about winff HOT 5 CLOSED

Darn it... sorry I clicked OK before adding a subject line. :(  Time for me to 
get
some sleep.

Thank you for reporting issues you encounter. 

Work-around: Edit -> Preferences -> Linux 
Either insert an other terminal (e.g. /usr/bin/xterm) or provide the proper 
terminal
option (terminator uses -x)

Unfortunately, what you experience is not a bug in winff, but a bug in the 
program
that emulates the terminal. Somebody reported yesterday [1] that terminator 
does not
honor the -e options that programs that provide x-terminal-emulator should. You 
are
experiencing the same.

Could you please let me know to what program you
/etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator points?
[code]ls -al /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator[/code]

Ah, this makes sense now.  I do use terminator (there seem to be two similar 
terminal
emulators called "terminator", mine is at https://launchpad.net/terminator/).  
I will
submit this as a terminator bug report (if it's not already reported) and use 
the
workaround.

Thanks!

I get the same error with both gnome terminal and xterm in Ubuntu 9.04.
So how should I start xterm? Because starting xterm from terminator by typing 
xterm
and the running winff does not work.

@WLigtenberg: as reported in my comment 2, in the Edit -> Preferences -> Linux 
menu
you can set which terminal to use.
