How does it fail ? What error message is displayed ?

No need to look at this patch, it was a dirty patch and is not
appliable.

The run-in-terminal feature uses the terminal selected in "GNOME
prefered applications" in desktop advanced settings interface.

If you prefer using x-terminal-emulator instead of gnome-terminal, then
check if you choose one terminal using as root :
         update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator

Still having problems ?
