Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Install Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS
  2. Install non-default terminal - Tilix, by `sudo apt-get install tilix`
  3. Install terminal-based application - Midnight Commander, by `sudo apt-get install mc`
  3. Set Tilix as default terminal in `mate-default-applications-properties` or programmatically:

        gsettings set org.mate.applications-terminal exec "'tilix'"

  4. Set Tilix as alternative for x-terminal-emulator by update-
  alternatives:

        update-alternatives --set x-terminal-emulator /usr/bin/tilix.wrapper
        sudo update-alternatives --set x-terminal-emulator /usr/bin/tilix.wrapper

  5. Reboot
  6. Add Custom Application Launcher to the MATE Panel:

        Type: Application in Terminal
        Name: mc
        Command: mc

  7. Click the icon of just created Custom Application Launcher

  Expected results:

  * Midnight Commander is opened in the user-defined terminal - in Tilix

  Actual results:

  * Midnight Commander is default terminal - in MATE Terminal

  Notes:
  * This also happens with desktop-files installed by Midnight Commander, it opens in MATE Terminal when called from Brisk menu, Classic menu, Compact Menu, Dock, <Alt>+<F1> menu, Advanced Mate Menu (`mate-menu` package)
  * What is interesting, the <Alt>+<F2> respects user preferences and uses Tilix
  * Also <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<T> opens Tilix as expected.
