I was having some issues with the Mate terminal in Linux Mint (see How to reset system colors) so have started using gnome-terminal instead. I'd like the change the "Terminal" icon which is on the Start menu (see pic) to launch gnome-terminal instead, but can't work out how. It doesn't have an entry on the Preferences/Main Menu option.

Any ideas anyone? thanks, Max

EDIT - this is Linux Mint 13 Maya btw (i don't know why it calls itself Mate on the desktop and Maya on the command line).

Edit the .desktop icon for terminal on the panel.

The panel and menu shortcuts are called from /usr/share/applications. Right click on the .desktop shortcut you want to change, and select to Open with a text editor.

Exec=mate-terminal

Then alter the exec line to the command to run the gnome terminal.
