Hello everyone,

I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 with XFCE. I really like XFCE, but one thing annoys me: the terrible long name of its terminal application ("xfce4-terminal").

My question is: can I somehow create a permanent alias which allows me to run a new terminal instance from the Application Finder (ALT+F2) by simply typing "terminal" instead of "xfce4-terminal"?

I already tried to create an alias in "/home/user/.bash_aliases", which works from inside an existing terminal, but the Application Finder seems to ignore this file...


Thanks,


Alan
