            Bug ID: 239832
           Summary: security/secpanel hard-coding of "gnome-terminal"
                    fails under mate-only installation
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: radicleparticles at gmail.com

usr/local/lib/secpanel/termdefs.txt:set termtype(GNOME-Terminal_path)
"gnome-terminal"

and

stage/usr/local/share/secpanel/termdefs.txt:set termtype(GNOME-Terminal_path)
"gnome-terminal"

will fail in a mate-only installation where gnome-terminal is not installed
(eg; no terminal window opens up and the requested action fails)

Possible solutions:
a) add make code to the Makefile to force a choice of "gnome-terminal",
"mate-terminal", or soemthing else (eg; xterm ?)

b) mate system user creates a link between "mate-terminal" and "gnome-terminal"
in the path above; this would imply a friendly suggestion in the port
"pkg-descr" file

c) mate system user installs "gnome-terminal" and everything thing is
"hunkey-dorey"; this probably won't cause any undesirable side affect of
installing more of Gnome as all of the gnome-terminal requisites also can be
found in the "mate" environment
