I was wondering how I can go back to using the gnome terminal as my default terminal in Ubuntu rather than having terminator as my default. Also, I do not want to uninstall terminator, I just don't want to have it as my default one.

          There are two ways to achieve this.





          1. Updating the alternatives: For this run 



            sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator


            and select the number corresponding to /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper. This will set GNOME terminal as the default entry under x-terminal-emulator. But this might change if some other new terminal is installed in future since that installation may edit default value for x-terminal-emulator.





          2. Setting GNOME terminal as default: For this you can run



            gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec 'gnome-terminal'

          Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

          Image
          up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
