Tilix doesn't launch programs from dmenu, shortcuts, Whisker Menu. #1713

Open poutingcavity opened 5 years ago

poutingcavity commented 5 years ago

In GalliumOS/XFCE4 when trying to use any kind of launcher (or dmenu, or shortcuts, etc...) for a program that requires a terminal (like, say, cmus or htop), Tilix itself will open, but not launch the program unless I specify within the launcher to NOT open in terminal and write out, fer instance

tilix -x cmus

in the 'command' area of the launcher. I haven't figured out how to get dmenu to work at all. I'm not sure it's a bug, probably not, and it may simply be my ignorance, but any help would be appreciated. Oh, and before anyone asks, I did make Tilix my preferred terminal application. :)

Note that only GNOME is supported, no testing is done on other DE. My first thought would be to try disabling DBus activation in the desktop file to see if that helps,

Darn, nope. As a test, I went to htop.desktop to turn off Dbus activation but it wasn't even on. I did try and turn it on, and that did nothing as well.

I think he meant Tilix's DBus activation.
