[Bug 38274] Run-dialog "Run in terminal" is broken

[Eric Feliksik]

Public bug reported:

Affects: libgnome (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
the "run in terminal" option in the run-dialog (alt-f2) appears to be
broken. You can run an 'xterm', 'gaim', or something, no problem. You
can even run 'bash', but it doesn't do anything, as it needs a terminal.

But if you try 'bash' with "Run in terminal", it errors in two windows:

Could not open location 'file:///bash'
Details: The location or file could not be found.

and:

Could not run command 'file:///bash'
Details: Failed to execute child process "gnome-terminal --working-directory=%f" (No such file or directory)

Note that this "gnome-terminal --working-directory=%f" is how it is
specified in preferred-applications by default.

(https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/libgnome/+bug/29005 is not
the same issue, but also about "file not found")
