Bug#626481: ladish: can't use rxvt / others as terminal emulators, shell not respected

[Dan Muresan]

Package: ladish
Version: 0.3-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


Ladish tries to start terminal-bound commands as <terminal> -e 'command 
args'. In general, "x-terminal-emulator -e" expects an executable + 
arguments, NOT a command string, as daemon/loader.c provides. The attached 
(if trivial) patch fixes that.

More generally, this fix has the benefit of telling the terminal emulator 
which shell to use (the one configured in ladish), as opposed to letting it 
decide on its own.
