Searching for "xterm" in the launcher on our Fedora 13 system results in 
something like the following: "Run xterm"  Which of course will run "xterm" if 
you select it.

I changed "NoDisplay=true" to "NoDisplay=false" and now the "xterm" icon comes 
up when I search in the launcher, as well as appearing in "Applications | 
System"
