So, at the moment, when creating the .desktop file to serve as desktop icons and lie in ~/Desktop, it is possible to set an option 'Run in terminal'. One common usage of this option for would be debugging GUI applications which print some debugging output to stdout, but are usually launched from the GUI.

Suggestion: either add an option to 'not close the terminal window after the process has finished', or add a delay option. The example file would be:. ~/Desktop/example.desktop [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Name=Example Comment= Exec=/usr/local/bin/wrongname Icon= Terminal=true StartupNotify=true Path=~/
