The default config file /etc/X11/wmii-3.5/wmiirc uses:
WMII_TERM="x-terminal-emulator"
In Ubuntu it points to gnome-terminal.

I changed it to:
WMII_TERM="xterm"
and then wmii uses xterm and doesn't need me to run an application such as
gedit, firefox before Alt+Enter works.

so yes, the problem is only with gnome-terminal.

I also tried to use a terminal to start wmii and nothing much printed. I
also replaced these configs with the ones from [
http://code.suckless.org/dl/wmii/wmii-3.6.tar.gz] and got the same result.

Not sure what caused the problem...
