Bug#931045: Use higher priority for mate-terminal.wrapper
Source: mate-terminal
Version: 1.20.2-2
Severity: normal
Hello, debian/mate-terminal.postinst contains this line:
x-terminal-emulator /usr/bin/mate-terminal.wrapper 30 \
That means that it "races" with lxterm for being the preferred
terminal in an installed system:
$ update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
There are 5 choices for the alternative x-terminal-emulator (providing
/usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator).
Selection Path Προτε Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0 /usr/bin/lxterm 30 auto mode
1 /usr/bin/koi8rxterm 20 manual mode
2 /usr/bin/lxterm 30 manual mode
3 /usr/bin/mate-terminal.wrapper 30 manual mode
4 /usr/bin/uxterm 20 manual mode
5 /usr/bin/xterm 20 manual mode
Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:
So, upping that "30" to "40" would prevent lxterm from being preferred
over mate-terminal in 50% of the installations.
Gnome-terminal also uses "40" there.
Thank you.
