Package: mate-terminal
Version: 1.8.1+dfsg1-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

I tred to execute the result of a compilation within Geany (a GTK simpe
editor/ide).
The terminal opens but it contains the following message:

 Errore nel creare il processo figlio per questo terminale

Esecuzione del processo figlio "/bin/sh ./geany_run_script.sh" non riuscita
(File o directory non esistente)

that translates to:

Error in creating child process
Execution of child process "/bin/sh ./geany_run_script.sh" failed (file or
directory missing)

The correct result would be the execution of the compiled program, it's output.

In the system only Mate dektop is installed.
Geany invokes x-terminal-emulator -e "/bin/sh ./geany_run_script.sh"
x-terminal-emulator is linked to mate-terminal.wrapper
Mate-terminal.wrapper translates "-e" parameter in the unknown parameter "-x".

I preapred a patch to solve the proble. Double check it as it modifies the
wrapper in /usr/bin and I'm not shure I prepared it correctly
