Ubuntu – Monodevelop External Console

monodevelopxterm

Ubuntu 12.04. When I run MonoDevelop (IDE) using native shell, Unity, the MonoDevelop External Console that appears during debugging is gnome-terminal.

But if I use another window manager (for instance i3wm), MonoDevelop External Console is xterm.

Any workaround to make the IDE 'think' it is in GNOME environment and make it use gnome-terminal?

Way late, but same issue for me using awesomeWM. I just made a symlink called xterm in /usr/bin pointing to /usr/bin/<TERMINALOFCHOICE> (urxvt in my case).

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/urxvt /usr/bin/xterm

Working fine so far.

.Xresources doesn't work for me either anymore. My workaround is to use /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color and /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm.

Ubuntu – How to make xterm to send the Alt key to emacs as Meta

As seen in the Arch Wiki, you need to make Xterm to send the correct escaped key to the program:

If you use the Alt key for keyboard shortcuts, you will need this in your resource file:
XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true

So, just do:

echo 'XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true' >> ~/.Xresources

And restart your Xterm session.
