<div dir="auto"><p dir="ltr">Afaik it's not part of the desktop entry but desktop menu spec. And it does not solve the idea of command execution.

Why not just go ahead and enhance the standard? The package itself is the only one that can give guarantees on the CLI similar to the executable name. No other cross platform way. If we do it, this is the only way. So the question is: should we have it? I mean are there any cons you can think of?</p><p dir="ltr">Probably popular terms that would benefit are terminator which has a breaking CLI before 2.1.2 iirc - impossible to interact with. Could be solved with it. yakuake not having it at all. Dev could be convinced with it. Some terms even allow to define mode (window/tab) this could be customized by users by creating user space desktop entries. </p></div>
