I am running xfce at the moment.

$ echo $XDG_MENU_PREFIX
xfce-

I don't have the screen shot at the moment, but I'll install a gnome

Speaking to terminal, I also have following error in nautilus which
could not interpret the "Terminal=true", and I don't want to use
xterm, how to resolve that problem?

"(nautilus:3441): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: couldn't find a terminal,
falling back to xterm"

Thank you.

Kind regards.
