MATE: can't find xterm in menu

[maketopsite]

Ubuntu 20.04

Is it please possible to add xterm to MATE menu ?

Yes. Create a .desktop file and force the system to re-index all .desktop files. No clue how to accomplish that. Might just be able to place the .desktop file in the same directory as all the other .desktop files? IDK.

Probably don't want to put this file into any "autostart" directory.

$ locate .desktop |grep xterm

Found existing xterm .desktop files.
/usr/share/applications/debian-uxterm.desktop
/usr/share/applications/debian-xterm.desktop
/usr/share/mate/applications/debian-uxterm.desktop
/usr/share/mate/applications/debian-xterm.desktop

Have you checked your edit menu?

Copy the .desktop file from /usr/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications
No changes are necessary to the file.
Then it will show immediately in the Menu. (see attachment).
