I am using the vim-r-plugin for editing r-files in vim and gvim. Starting gvim, opening an R-file, and invoking \rf will fire up a terminal emulator, a tmux-session in this terminal emulator, and a new r-session in this tmux-session.
Possible choices for the terminal emulator on my system are:
% sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
Es gibt 5 Auswahlmöglichkeiten für die Alternative x-terminal-emulator (welche /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator bereitstellen).
Auswahl Pfad Priorität Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/bin/lxterminal 40 automatischer Modus
1 /usr/bin/koi8rxterm 20 manueller Modus
2 /usr/bin/lxterm 30 manueller Modus
3 /usr/bin/lxterminal 40 manueller Modus
* 4 /usr/bin/uxterm 20 manueller Modus
5 /usr/bin/xterm 20 manueller Modus
Drücken Sie die Eingabetaste, um die aktuelle Wahl[*] beizubehalten,
oder geben Sie die Auswahlnummer ein:

As you can see, my default terminal is set to uxterm. The vim-r-plugin, however, will fire up a lxterminal. It seems as if the vim-r-plugin respects the priority values higher than the manual selection by the users.
How can I tell the vim-r-plugin to use uxterm instead?
You should be able to explicitly set tmux’s choice of $TERM in your ~/.tmux.conf:
set -g default-terminal "uxterm"
