I wondered how to set the default terminal in GNOME 3. The internet revealed
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec
<terminal> gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec-arg "'-e'"
This raises 2 questions: 1. Will it be possible to set the default terminal again in GNOME 3.2? 2. Where is 'exec-arg' arg coming from? In the past we had the xml files in /usr/share/gnome-control-center/default-apps/ which contained an 'exec-flag'. How can I as a maintainer of several terminal applications let people know the proper exec-flag/exec-arg?
I am not sure the exec-arg is required. At least it's not from my experience. I set the 'Open Terminal' keybind to find the default terminal was not configured, and had to use the first command above for terminal to open.
I am also curious if anyone can advise, is it possible to get terminal apps to appear in the ALT-TAB window switch view, seperate from Gnome Terminal. For users of irssi or mutt, etc.
At the moment my irssi terminal profile is grouped under Gnome Terminal, even when opening from a .desktop file of my own making. So I guess I am possibly missing an option.
