Flashgot not launching axel

Hi
I have installed flashgot in my FF v.32 which was working well in my cinnamon desktop. I have set axel as my default download manager in flashgot. Upon every download, flashgot used to launch gnome-termianl to execute axel (which was strange as it used to launch xterm previously). But recently, flashgot has stopped launching terminal-emulator and upon investigation I have come to know that gnome-terminal is giving dbus error. So, now I have to set another terminal-eumlator as default for flashgot (e.g xterm whch was default in my previous Mate desktop).
How can I set default terminal-emulator in flashgot?
Regards.

If you remove gnome-terminal from $PATH or rename it, FlashGot should try to use xterm.
In next version I'll make it also check for a "flashgot-term" script in $PATH and use it if present, passing a "FlashGot (n links)" string as the first argument (to be used as the terminal title), followed by the actual executable with its arguments, so you can fully customize the terminal/launcher if you like so.

If you remove gnome-terminal from $PATH or rename it
echo $PATH is showing that gnome-terminal is not in path, check this;
Code: Select all
~> echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl
Then how can i remove it?

renaming /usr/bin/gnome-terminal to /usr/bin/gnome-terminal-bak did the trick

What do you think about an option in flashgot's preferences to allow a user to manually set terminal?

It is very probably located in /usr/bin, which is the third entry in your path.

That each terminal has its own argument list, so we would essentially replicate the already present customizable download manager support, for a very similar geeky audience.
In other words, if you're so technical that you're capable of choosing and configuring a different terminal, you can as well configure a customized download manager definition which includes the terminal preamble.
