Summary:                    Gnome Terminal freezes when launched from XFDesktop Menu (CVS)
Description: 
Gnome Terminal freezes when launched from Desktop Menu but works fine when
launched from Panel Launcher or from the Panel Desktop Menu Plugin. 
LinNeighborhood has a similar problem where it cannot mount when launched
from the Desktop Menu but works perfectly when launched from a Panel
Launcher or from the Panel Desktop Menu Plugin. This only affects the CVS
version of XFDesktop. Ver 4.0.5 works fine.

this is known.  unfortunately, the cause is rather unknown, and a fix is
probably going to involve a bit of a rewrite, which i'm in the middle of
now.

by the way... could you clarify what you mean in what you think the problem
is?  i'm not sure that you're on the right track, but i'm not so far in
the rewrite that i wouldn't abandon it if someone were to come up with a
fix...

Since the LinNeighborhood error is saying that the waitpid failed, I'm
assuming it has something to do with how the process is being executed. 
Since this isn't a problem in 4.0.5, could it be something added to the
code since then? Where in the code does the desktop menu run the programs?
If I can see how it's executing the chosen program, it would probably make
it easier for me to figure out what I was trying to say. ;)
