Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus-open-terminal

Hi,

I recently installed the fish shell and configured it as my default shell (with the gnome-terminal profiles and also modifying /etc/passwd via the "chsh -s /usr/bin/fish" command), so if I login to the console or start a gnome-terminal, fish is started automatically instead of the default bash. But if I open a terminal from nautilus, I still get a terminal with bash started. I tried the same thing with csh too, but doesn't work either (nautilus-open-terminal always starts a terminal with the default bash shell).

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with:
nautilus: 1:2.30.1-0ubuntu1
nautilus-open-terminal: 0.18-1
gnome-terminal: 2.29.6-0ubuntu5
bash: 4.1-2ubuntu3
fish: 1.23.1-2

I suppose, you need to provide some system variable to determine, which terminal shoudl be opened.
I uninstalled gnome-terminal and wanted to use Terminator instead, but I don't see any option to excplicitly set which terminal should be opened.
(or explicitly set gnome-terminal as a dependency of this project)
