Would you check ps to make sure it’s not running without a window, e.g., run: ps auxwww | grep mged > in the desktop entry below; changing Terminal=true; mged will start. Yes, that’s to be expected. That’s the terminal detection I mentioned. The thing is that it should also be running when there’s not a terminal, but obviously isn’t working as intended. I suspect there’s input on stdin and it thinks it’s in command mode (where it runs one command and exits). > here's the contents of my .desktop file; Thanks, what OS is this on? Cheers!
