Launcher applet ignores the terminal that the user has chosen

 * Cinnamon version (cinnamon --version) 4.6.7
 * Distribution - (Mint 17.2, Arch, Fedora 25, etc...) Mint 20
 * Graphics hardware *and* driver used: Intel onboard, UHD Graphics 620, mesa
 * 32 or 64 bit: 64

Issue

Cinnamon's launcher applet (pictured immediately below) ignores the terminal the user has chosen.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set the default terminal to something other than Gnome. So one might set it to the xfce terminal.
2. Create a launcher with the launcher applet, and in so doing select 'launch in terminal'.
3. Use the launcher.
4. See how Gnome terminal appears.

Expected behaviour

The applet should use the terminal that I have set as the default terminal.

Other information

Is this the wrong place to post reports for the launcher applet? That applet declares no author anywhere; I infer that it is considered part of Cinnamon.

Cf. Nemo issue 2571?

Start at the Cinnamon launcher applet entry point and reproduce the issue by selecting a non-GNOME default terminal, creating a launcher with “launch in terminal,” and using it. Trace how the applet chooses the terminal and verify that the configured default terminal is used instead; compare the related Nemo issue if useful.
