A quick trick is using the hold option for xterm, so in the end,
your ".desktop" file launcher contains something like:
***
Exec=xterm -hold -e <command>&
***
Another tip I've seen by searching at Google is using a predefined gnome-
terminal profile that keeps the window open and then you call it from
the desktop launcher.
