I suspect that it is a GUI application. The cause of your trouble is Terminal=true. Have you noticed a terminal appearing, staying for a moment, then closing? Either edit the link so that Terminal=false, or recreate the link, only this time, do not check the "Run in terminal" item. Hope this helps, -- Philip A.
