Hi there! I re-openend this bug and changed the submitter to myself. I have cc:ed both the original submitter for his information and the pkg-fso-maint@ mailing list since this is important for Debian on the Openmoko Neo FreeRunner.

E17 menu considers .desktop files in /u/s/applications, which means that if xterm does not provide such a file, it is not possible to start it From the menu. This is even more important when using the Illume profile on the Openmoko Neo FreeRunner. A simple .desktop file based on the one I found on the Ubuntu BTS: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xterm/+bug/93151 --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=XTerm Comment=X terminal emulator Icon=xterm-color_32x32 TryExec=xterm Exec=xterm Type=Application Categories=Utility;TerminalEmulator; StartupNotify=false --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- There are three open questions... 1) The file above is for the xterm binary only, while the xterm package provide 4 terminal emulators: I am not sure we need a .desktop file for all of them, but I consider lxterm the necessary one, since it consider the user locale. 2) According to the latest freedesktop.org menu specification v1.1 http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-1.1.html TerminalEmulator applications should be part of the System main category, thus I quickly checked other main terminal emulators: - gnome-terminal is in Utility - konsole is in System - xfce4-terminal is in both System and Utility 3) I am not sure if the value of StartupNotify is correct, according to the latest freedesktop.org desktop entry specification v1.1 http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-1.1.html Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
