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.
