Hello,

I removed xterm because it is difficult to configure and now I cannot
start terminal with the top menu item in the icewm menu.

The menuitem is hardcoded to "x-terminal-emulator -ls". While -l support
is common -s is specific to xterm. When x-terminal-emulator points to
something else the menu fails to start a terminal.

Please consider dropping the -s.

Thanks

Michal

I agree. Those switches are basically Wild West across different
terminal emulators, they all should be removed where possible in the
caller's command line.

Unfortunatelly I forgot to apply this change in the last upload, this
should be changed in a couple of days, I want to get 2.0.x version into
Testing first.

Best regards,
Eduard.
