Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS
2. Install non-default terminal - Tilix, by `sudo apt-get install tilix`
3. Install terminal-based application - Midnight Commander, by `sudo apt-get
install mc`
3. Set Tilix as default terminal in `mate-default-applications-properties` or
programmatically:
gsettings set org.mate.applications-terminal exec "'tilix'"
4. Set Tilix as alternative for x-terminal-emulator by update-
alternatives:
update-alternatives --set x-terminal-emulator /usr/bin/tilix.wrapper
sudo update-alternatives --set x-terminal-emulator /usr/bin/tilix.wrapper
5. Reboot
6. Add Custom Application Launcher to the MATE Panel:
Type: Application in Terminal
Name: mc
Command: mc
7. Click the icon of just created Custom Application Launcher
Expected results:
* Midnight Commander is opened in the user-defined terminal - in Tilix
Actual results:
* Midnight Commander is default terminal - in MATE Terminal
Notes:
* This also happens with desktop-files installed by Midnight Commander, it
opens in MATE Terminal when called from Brisk menu, Traditional menu,
<Alt>+<F1> menu, Advanced Mate Menu (`mate-menu` package)
* What is interesting, the <Alt>+<F2> respects user preferences and uses Tilix
