Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
Create a launcher on the desktop by right clicking on "Create Launcher" and
including the following:
Type: Application
Name: foo
Command: gnome-terminal -e "ls -Fla"
Then click OK
Double click on the newly-created desktop 'foo' icon. If gnome-terminal
closes right away, manually launch a gnome-terminal window from the
Applications|Accessories|Terminal menu and make sure that the default
profile for gnome-terminal has the following selected in the pull-down
menu under the Commands section of the "Editing Profile Default" "Title
and Command" Tab:
"When the command exits: Hold the terminal open"
You should see either an empty gnome-terminal window without any of the
"ls -Fla" output displayed, a window with partial output of the "ls
-Fla" output displayed (and frozen mid-'ls'), or if you're very lucky,
you may see a gnome-terminal window with the entire output that you'd
expect to see. If that's the case, modify the launcher to 'ls' other
directories, and you should start to soon see unexpected behaviour.
Also try launching a 'hello world' script file (e.g. gnome-terminal -e
"/home/user/hello.sh") and you should see that it doesn't output your
'hello world' as expected.
This bug may impact any scripts linked to launchers.
