<p style="text-align: justify; text-justify: auto">Package: alacritty<br/>
Version: 0.15.1-2<br/>
Severity: normal</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; text-justify: auto">Unfortunately, Alacritty does not accept the <code>-name</code> command-line option, and instead spews and error message. This is a problem when it is used as a drop-in to <code>x-terminal-emulator</code>, which sometimes gets passed the <code>-name</code> option (supported by every other terminal emulator that I know).</p>

error: unexpected argument '-n' found
Usage: x-terminal-emulator [OPTIONS] [COMMAND]

<p style="text-align: justify; text-justify: auto">It would be good enough IMHO to accept and ignore it.
