Indeed, there is a need to make this easier. I wrote this code the other day:
;; Returns the terminal emulator program for a given desktop environment.
(defun terminal-program (&optional (desktop (desktop-environment)))
(case desktop
((:GNOME-2 :GNOME-3) "gnome-terminal")
(:KDE "konsole")
(:LXDE "lxterminal")
(:XFCE4 "xfce4-terminal")
(:MATE "mate-terminal")
(:PANTHEON "io.elementary.terminal")
(:LUMINA "qterminal")
(:MACOS "/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app")
(:HAIKU "Terminal")
(:CYGWIN "mintty")
(:WINDOWS "cmd")
(t (if (getenv "DISPLAY") "xterm" nil))
) )
It's pretty ugly to have to enumerate the desktop environments in this way.
