291. Another nautilus-open-terminal related bug

We recently had issues with nautilus-open-terminal opening the terminal in $HOME no matter from which directory it was called: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/fix-for-nautilus-open-terminal-opens-in.html

In that post the fix was to do

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec gnome-terminal

Which worked fine as long as the exec-arg remained '-x'. It seems to have changed to '-e' now, so during the past few days (since nautilus 3.4.2) 'open terminal here' doesn't open a terminal at all.

Diagnosis:
Looking at this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=693894


gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec

'gnome-terminal'

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec-arg

'-e'

Fix:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec x-terminal-emulator

It should now work normally.

284. Fix for: nautilus-open-terminal opens in $HOME

Update: due to a change in the exec-arg, if you followed the instruction here you now can't open the terminal (using nautilus) at all if you've upgraded to nautilus 3.4.2. Look at this post to fixing it: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/another-nautilus-open-terminal-related.html
Everything should now work perfectly.

Original post:
This has been bothering me for the past week or so: if I use nautilus-open-terminal (i.e. right-click in nautilus and select open in terminal) it now always opens in $HOME instead of in the directory I want it to open in.

 Apparently I'm not the only one: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=692518

Luckily the solution is quick and simple: run this in your terminal, then open a new nautilus window:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec gnome-terminal
