Hi Guys,

If I set Terminal=true in a .desktop file in
/usr/local/share/applications the application will start in a
terminal.

Is there a way to tell Gnome in which terminal the application it
should run? I would like to change the terminal from bash to tcsh. It
does not read the /etc/passwd file. I already tried that.

I do have a lot of environment variables in tcsh which bash is not
aware of which causes apps to fail.

Thanks for your help,
Jan
