i've had a lot of trouble getting this to work in the past.  oh --
wait -- i guess my problem was unrelated.  it works okay in
debian /usr/lib/menus entries (i haven't tried .desktop), but i
can't get it to work from monolaunch (mb-applet-laucher).  i
think it's because of the way xterm disassociates itself as much
as possible from its parent.  i wrote a character-based wireless
stumbler that i wanted to launch from the panel, but haven't been
able to figure out how.
