When gnome-terminal is started from the desktop context menu it doesn't have the complete $PATH.
Is not very clear to me: a default GNOME Desktop does not have a context menu to start anything (only options are change background and 'settings') What did you configure prior to trying this? Presumably enabled 'nautilus' to handle the desktop?

Ok, I think I can reproduce this: it is indeed by how 'nautilus-open-terminal' spawns the terminal (it does not just start 'gnome-terminal', as this would not have control over where in the tree the terminal would land; and it also has to work over SFTP URIs.. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Most likely. I had it in 12.3 and carried my profile with me. I even don't know how to disable it in 13.1. The only thing I'm really searching for is a quick shortcut to open a (fully functional) terminal.

Indeed. The desktop context menu is just saying "Terminal öffnen" and does not need that special handling though. I'm not sure if it's worth fixing it or if I change my settings (if you could tell me how) and find a better way to have a terminal shortcut. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It could be enabled / disabled in gnome-tweak-tools

In fact, in your case, desktop is 'nautilus' showing ~/Desktop; and as such all the nautilus specific plugins are working. I myself have a keyboard shortcut on 'gnome-terminal' (I use <SUPER>-R, but that's irrelevant). Probably about the shortest way to get a terminal opened (and keybaord works fine for me: the entire gnome-terminal controlling is done with KB after that too). Does that suffice for you? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I think I've enabled it there once but the 13.1 version has nothing related to that unfortunately.

I guess I'll get rid of the nautilus desktop since it doesn't seem future proof. So yes, I'll find another way to achieve that once I got rid of the nautilus things. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

gnome-tweak-tools / Desktop / Show icons on desktop => the result is nautilus is spanwed to draw your desktop. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
