If I may (as it might not be related but then please direct me to the correct branch) I can no longer override any of the fixed applications settings, e.g. system terminal: 1. GNOME Terminal is already one of the predefined applications, 2. choose Custom, 3. put in gnome-terminal as a command, 4. as soon as you put l in the text field, selection switches to predefined GNOME Terminal with fixed -x flag, therefore you cannot add any more flags like --full-screen for that matter.

Now on Natty Beta 1 (freshly updated), the problem appears not only related to browser/mail apps, but also to multimedia player, since Banshee is not registered as one available multimedia app. (while it's now the default music player!), but instead as a personalized selection...
