Launching with

<node name="node_name" pkg="pkg_name" type="pkg_type" output="screen">
      <remap from="topic/general" to="topic/specific"/>
</node>

topic/general is mapped to topic/specific

but launching with

<node name="node_name" pkg="pkg_name" type="pkg_type" output="screen" launch-prefix="gnome-terminal --command">
          <remap from="topic/general" to="topic/specific"/>
</node>

No remapping is done. How do I retain remappings when launching in new terminal?

Is it required for you to use gnome-terminal ? It seems to be working using xterm -e instead, or even terminator -x but I'm not able to explain why gnome-terminal doesn't work.

From the gnome-terminal manpage the option -x is :

Execute the remainder of the command line inside the terminal.

Which is really similar to the option -x of terminator (manpage ):

Runs the rest of the command line instead of your default shell or profile specified command.

The instead of your default shell or profile specified command part might explain why it doesn't work with gnome-terminal but I don't know any work-around for that.

I originally used gnome-terminal because I'm working on Ubuntu but terminator -x works fine. Thanks.

I don't have time to investigate right now, but remapping should work regardless of which terminal emulator is in use.
