On "Ubuntu", xeyes follows the mouse movement when over the desktop. On "GNOME" it doesn't.
I guess it means that Ubuntu's desktop background app isn't native X11, and probably that's why somehow (still totally unclear to me how) gnome- terminal inherits this X11-compat requirement from the menu there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722121 Title: Gnome-Terminal ignores theme, preferences is unavailable, and copy not working when launching from right-click desktop Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: Ubuntu Artful Aardvark (development branch) Release: 17.10 gnome-terminal: Installed: 3.24.2-0ubuntu4 Candidate: 3.24.2-0ubuntu4 Version table: *** 3.24.2-0ubuntu4 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Expected behavior Right-clicking on the desktop and selecting "Open Terminal" should give me the same terminal as running gnome-terminal or or opening terminal in the activity view.

Trying to copy something from the terminal and pasting outputs "unavailable".
