Bug#537278: gnome-control-center: gnome-default-applications-properties does not set needs_term for mailer presets

[Brian Marshall]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.26.0-1
Severity: normal

In the Preferred Applications window, there are checkboxes to set
whether the application should be run in a terminal window. These
preferences work, but they aren't set automatically when choosing a
preset application.

The list of default applications in gnome-default-applications.xml has a
run-in-terminal pref but it doesn't seem to be used by Preferred
Applications. Well, there's only one application that has it set to
true, but it's Mutt.

Choosing Mutt from the list of mail readers works, and sets the command
gconf pref, but it doesn't set the needs_terminal pref to true.
Likewise, if the needs_terminal pref is already true, choosing a mail
reader that has run-in-terminal set to false doesn't change it.

This is more of a problem because the terminal checkbox is disabled
unless you're using a custom mailer. Setting the pref manually (either
by choosing a custom mailer then going back to a preset one or changing
the gconf pref directly) works. It just isn't done automatically, which
makes the run-in-terminal pref in the list of defaults rather pointless.
