I am on Xubuntu 13.10 64 bit. I want to change the default terminal emulator to Terminator. Currently the default terminal emulator is Xfce-Terminal. I do
sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
I get
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/bin/terminator 50 auto mode
1 /usr/bin/koi8rxterm 20 manual mode
2 /usr/bin/lxterm 30 manual mode
* 3 /usr/bin/terminator 50 manual mode
4 /usr/bin/uxterm 20 manual mode
5 /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal.wrapper 40 manual mode
6 /usr/bin/xterm 20 manual mode
Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:
It does not matter if I choose 0
or 3
The default terminal is Xfce-Terminal. I mean:
Super key + T
will open Xfce-TerminalRight click -> Open Terminal here
will open Xfce-Terminal
I'm used to configure Crunchbang, Openbox is easy to configure, but on Ubuntu + Xfce I don't know what to do: Should I configure some files? Should I run a terminal command? Should I use Nautilus actions?

I think there's an option to do so using the GUI, though I've never needed to change my terminal, I did go through a period of using
PCManFM
beforeThunar
had tabs.I think it's under Settings Manager → Preferred Applications → Utilities (or something like that).
Maybe also purging the others would provide a solution - but I've tried to remove default packages in the past and found they're dependencies of
xubuntu-desktop
(which, obviously, you don't want to remove).
