Well, I have read all your responses and tried all possibilities but it does not work yet... My .desktop file looks like the following now: [Desktop Entry] Name=dummy Comment=dummy Script Exec=/home/foo/script.sh Type=Application Terminal=true The script.sh just launches a Java application, including the following lines: exec /usr/local/java -classpath . MyApp I have checked that the Java GUI is launched OK if I call directly the script, and the script has execute permissions for all users... I tried too to execute a 'cd' in the Exec field and after that call the script but I did not work... :( As I said in my previous posting the terminal is opened and closed suddenly and the Java process is created but dies... Any opinion?
