Dear Developers,

as already reported in the Debian bug tracking system
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=687615 ) I encountered the
following problem with lxpanel version 0.5.10:

setting "Terminal=urxvt" in the main config file does not work, while
setting "Terminal=xterm" is o.k. With the urxvt setting the terminal is
terminated immediately. Looking for the cause, I noticed that lxpanel
appends a blank to the exec-command given in the desktop file used for the
menu generation.

For example with octave, lxpanel tries to launch a command made up of
three strings:

"urxvt", "-e", "/usr/bin/octave "

Notice the blank at the end of the third string. The xterm program has
no problem with this additional blank, but urxvt terminates immediately
as can be tested easily from the shell:

urxvt -e "/usr/bin/octave "

Possibly this is an error in the code of lxpanel.

By the way, in the documentation at http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXPanel it
is wrongly stated that the "-e" should be given in the Terminal
definition, whereas lxpanel appends "-e" internally.

Many thanks in advance for your consideration
-- 
and best regards,
Jörg-Volker.
