Package: debian-policy Version: 4.5.0.0 Severity: important affects: sensible-utils control: block -1 by 874019 Hi, x-terminal-emulator documentation is incomplete. For instance the behavior of the -e option is different between xterm and gnome-terminal: try: gnome-terminal -e sleep 60 xterm -e sleep 60 gnome-terminal close immediately with a depression warning, where as xterm sleep 60. for gnome-terminal we should use the deprecated gnome-terminal -e 'sleep 60' or the newer variant gnome-terminal -- sleep 60 Moreover some packages noticed that x-terminal-emulator does not wait by default and so create wrapper to correct this misbehavior (see https:// sources.debian.org/src/links2/2.21-1/debian/x-terminal-emulator-which- properly-handles-dash-e/) I plan to create a sensible-x-terminal-emulator and thus I need to document; * the -e behavior, that should behave like xterm and do not need to use quotes. Moreover -e should be the last option. * that x-terminal-emulator should wait end of child process Thanks Bastien
