    Specify terminal in launcher

    Hi, I followed the this guide to add my own launcher to panel. I tested my .desktop file, the script opens in gnome-terminal and it works fine. But after added to panel, the script is opened in LXTerminal and does not work. (If you're curious, this is to start GAP). I don't know why it doesn't work in LXTerminal, as a work around, is there anyway to specify which terminal is used?

    Here's my .desktop file

    Code:
    [Desktop Entry]
    Version=1.0
    Type=Application
    Terminal=true
    Icon[en_US]=gnome-panel-launcher
    Name[en_US]=GAP 4.6
    Exec=/usr/local/bin/gap4r6/bin/gap.sh
    Name=GAP 4.6
    Icon=gnome-panel-launcher
    Categories=Development;
    StartupNotify=true
    And here's the part I added to the panel file
    Code:
    Button {
                id=/usr/share/applications/gap4r6.desktop
                terminal=1
            }
