Its really just a little bug: Emacs tries to open itself in a terminal even when there is none!

This is more convoluted than I can describe in short!!

There is this bookmark put into the bookmark toolbar of firefox

javascript:location.href='org-protocol://capture?'+'&url='+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&body='+encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection());


The receiving template is:

(setq org-capture-templates '(("w" "Web site"
			       item
			       (file+headline "~/org/inbox.org" "Web")
			       "%a\n%i")))


Nevertheless getting org-protocol registered with firefox is one headache
Figuring out when a ".desktop" file is used and when a normal executable is another
