<p>$XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP... Not sure. Probably it's from pam_systemd.
<br>
It would be more reliable to take lowercase of
$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP then.<br>

So now xdg-termial is a collection of workarouds to
tie different DE's approaches together. Just like
xdg-open.<br>
IMHO, there should be a movement towards proper
standards.<br>
<br>
@Simon, with your remarks taken into accout, here is
an update:<br>
Using desktop entries to define terminals gives
advantages to downstream tools (selector GUIs, etc.)
by providing proper descriptions, l10n.<br>
Places to look could be extended beyond /usr, into a
proper ${XDG_DATA_[HOME|DIRS]} hierarchy, so it would
look like this:<br>
<br>
Terminal descriptios:<br>
~/.local/share/xdg-terminals ($XDG_DATA_HOME)<br>
{/usr/local/share,/usr/share}/<wbr>xdg-terminals
($XDG_DATA_DIRS)<br>
<br>
Configs:<br>
~/.config/$desktop-xdg-termina<wbr>ls.list
($XDG_CONFIG_HOME)<br>
~/.config/xdg-terminals.list<br>
/etc/xdg/$desktop-xdg-terminal<wbr>s.list
($XDG_CONFIG_DIRS)<br>
/etc/xdg/xdg-terminals.list<br>
<br>
If this logic would be embeded into xdg-terminal, that
would be a great start.<br>

We already have the xdg-terminal binary which
launches the terminal<br>
based off the currently running desktop. I think a
better approach would<br>
be to integrate with that existing infrastructure,
it could be modified<br>
for example to check for the existence of a config
file in 1 maybe<br>
several dirs (I guess a sysadmin may want to
configure a default<br>
terminal for all his users).<br>
<br>
That config file would contain the path to the
terminal followed by the<br>
exec command. This approach is less secure as
someone could modify the<br>
config file without you realising (I guess this
could happen anyway).<br>
<br>
I don't like the idea of describing exec arguments
only somewhere in<br>
/usr, it would mean that if I was working on a
machine that I didn't<br>
have root access to and I wanted to use some less
popular or new<br>
terminal that hadn't been added to the list yet I
wouldn't be able to. I<br>
also wouldn't be able to use a terminal that I had
built from source in<br>
my home dir and added to my path.<br>
<br>
I also think in the days of the X11 / wayland
transition prefixing the<br>
config files with xdg- rather then x- is a better
approach, I may be on<br>
my own with that though.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
