[Reportbug-maint] Bug#842018: reportbug: .desktop file launches shell application without setting Terminal=true

[Salvo Tomaselli]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.6.6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

in the file /usr/share/applications/reportbug.desktop there is this line:

reportbug --exit-prompt --ui gtk2

Running that command on a terminal gives me this:

> Ignored bogus setting for --ui: gtk2
> Please enter the name of the package in which you have found a problem, or type 'other' to report a more general problem. If you don't know what package the bug is in, please contact
> debian-user at lists.debian.org for assistance.
> > 

(The last line is the prompt from reportbug).

So it appears that gtk2 isn't working at all.

So, please set Terminal=true in the desktop file, so that it will be run inside
a terminal.

Best
