Description of problem: Launching 'XFCE Terminal' from the Gnome 'menu' icon pops up its Preferences dialogue, rather than the terminal itself. To try from other desktops. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): M7beta1 2 Dec 2018 (do not know the pkg name). How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. As described above.

Just found this under XFCE itself, where the 'XFCE terminal' menu item under *Settings* raises the Preferences dialogue, so maybe this is what is intended. In the Tools/XFCE Terminal icon of the same name, that does indeed raise the terminal itself. Changing the prefs icon caption from "XFCE terminal" looks necessary to avoid confusion. The Gnome menu then needs two icons, one for the terminal itself, one for the prefs.

In all truth, this is so trivial I am happy to close it. The original complaint has evolved. The latest M7Beta2 installed with 6 desktops: The Gnome 'menu' now has two *identical* Xfce Terminal icons. One raises the Terminal, the other its Preferences. Which is a useful advance. Who but me would have Gnome & Xfce together, or launch Xfce Terminal from Gnome? This is searching perfection for the sake of it. It is annoying that Xfce has a separate application for its terminal preferences (!), rather than the more common practice of including them in a menu. Other desktops often separate the Terminal & its Preferences in different sub-menus.
