"Failed to execute default terminal emulator "

Got the error:

"Failed to execute default Terminal emulator "

in clicking a launcher with "Run in terminal"

How do we set a terminal emulator app. to be the default ?

real one:
XFCE4-TERMINAL OR TMUX

Please help out. Thanks in advance

Re: "Failed to execute default terminal emulator "

Same issue here.
Freshly installed Xfce 4.18 with Debian 12 netinstall. The problem showed up from the very first boot.
I solved it by changing default terminal app from "Debian terminal emulator" to "Xfce terminal".
You may find de default apps tool within the settings menu or even within settings manager app.
