This bug is not fixed.  The patch included in the source changes
prefs.editable_textfile instead of prefs.external_editor, at least in
version 7.1.8.  This completely breaks the use of an external editor now
because Ipe now tries to call "<whatever your external editor is>
x-terminal-emulator -e editor %s", that is, it tries to edit the file
"x-terminal-emulator" now.

Cheers,
Norbert
