I wondered how to set the default terminal in GNOME 3. The internet
revealed
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal
exec-arg "'-e'"
This raises 2 questions:
1. Will it be possible to set the default terminal again in
GNOME
3.2?
2. Where is 'exec-arg' arg coming from? In the past we had the
xml
files in /usr/share/gnome-control-center/default-apps/ which
contained an 'exec-flag'. How can I as a maintainer of
several
terminal applications let people know the proper
exec-flag/exec-arg?
I am not sure the exec-arg is required. At least it's not from my
experience. I set the 'Open Terminal' keybind to find the default
terminal was not configured, and had to use the first command above for
terminal to open.
I am also curious if anyone can advise, is it possible to get terminal
apps to appear in the ALT-TAB window switch view, seperate from Gnome
Terminal. For users of irssi or mutt, etc.
At the moment my irssi terminal profile is grouped under Gnome
Terminal, even when opening from a .desktop file of my own making.
So I guess I am possibly missing an option.
