I confirm the same issue on Lubuntu 14.10 (amd64 version). The same issue occurs for Accessories -> Byobu Terminal, which is also a console application that should execute 'env TERM=xterm-256color byobu' but does not; only an empty terminal shell is shown.
It looks like the underlying problem is that for console-only applications, the execution string is not used. Are there any desktop applications with Terminal=true that works? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1053234 Title: Htop does not display properly from the menu, but will display from terminal.
