Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.8.2-1
Followup-For: Bug #291058


As promised, I installed a fresh GNOME on my desktop.

I installed gnome-core, then removed gnome-terminal, then added gdm and
rxvt. I then ran gdm for the first time and logged in with a brand new
user to GNOME/X for the first time.

'Run Application' panel applet produced 
	'Cannot launch command 'file://more /proc/cpuinfo'
in addition a gedit process appeared, with the title 
	'/more /proc/cpuinfo - gedit'

My 'Preferred Applications' lists 'Custom Terminal',
	Command: gnome-terminal
	Exec flag: -x

I can assure you that at this stage, I have not set preferences of my
own :)

It looks to me like this is the default and I think the default should
be x-terminal-emulator, which would most likely be gnome-terminal if
that is installed anyway.

I am pleased to say that setting this preferred application to the
debian terminal emulator by hand option works properly and future 'run
application' attempts succeed now.
