Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.18.3-1
Severity: normal
works:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xterm -e 'whiptail --msgbox "foo" 10 60'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gnome-terminal -e 'whiptail --msgbox "foo" 10 60'
doesn't:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ x-terminal-emulator -e 'whiptail --msgbox "foo" 10 60'
$ readlink -f $(which x-terminal-emulator)
/usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper
This results in a dialogue "There was an error creating the
child process for this terminal".
I suspect that this is a quoting/escaping issue with the
parameter passing inside the .wrapper program, but I haven't
had a look yet.
