Description Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-03-24 20:42:36 UTC
"$TERM" doesn't print necessarily the name of the terminal executable.  for example, here with konsole:

$ echo $TERM
xterm-256color

with urxvt:
$ echo $TERM
rxvt-unicode

Even if it did, the ebuild would be hardcoding whatever console was used to build the package into the desktop file.  If someone changed consoles, it would break.

I'm not sure what the best way to handle this is.  Depend on xterm and force it?
