[Bug 36171] gnome-terminal as preferred terminal breaks 'run in terminal' launchers

Comment:
Actually, it seems the launchers don't execute the specified command
right in the preferred applications settings.

If I create a custom command for the terminal:

gnome-terminal --geometry=80x40

Then the nautilus terminal extension works fine and obeys the extra
argument, but the launcher with 'run in terminal' selected seems to try
to execute the whole command (via execve or whatever method is called)
as a single command, as opposed to a command with arguments.

I get the expected error:

  Could not launch menu item

  Details: Failed to execute child process "gnome-terminal
--geometry=80x40" (No such file or directory)

(should I file in gnome bugzilla or will malone handle the details?)
