Isn't the Terminal attribute of desktop files[1] supposed to tell the
launcher program that it should start the application inside a
terminal? My impression is that Gnome at least used to support it, and
I know that KDE does support it. It should quite easily allow
specifying launchers for terminal-based programs that do not usually
need command line arguments.
