Bug Description

ELinks does not open up in the LXTerminal when the link from the menu list is clicked in Lubuntu 12.04. Only the LXTerminal opens with a non-blinking cursor. Ctrl + C, Ctrl + Q, and Ctrl + S does not stop the LXTerminal; it just hangs. When opening the hanging ELinks, another LXTerminal, and using the command "ps x | grep elinks", the hanging (non-working) elinks shows the following: lxterminal -e -e elinks.

Thanks for submitting this bug. It looks like the bug is not in elinks itself, but in the configuration shipped by Lubuntu. The correct command should be 'lxcterminal -e elinks', not 'lxcterminal -e -e elinks'. I will re-target the bug.
