xfce4-terminal didn't appear when i executed them from the panel or with xfrun4 (ALT+F2). There wasn't also any process. I'm using the latest SVN version...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




When I started it from a bash, it worked fine. I compared the environment-variables in a bash and those of the xfce session and noticed that the TERM variable is missing. So, I added the line "export TERM=something" to my xinitrc and it works fine. But that's an ugly solution and I'm wondering, that the value of the TERM variable isn't relevant.
