This bring up another point that we haven't really pursued yet.
What program produces this "desktop menu"? What is that process's
ancestry (e.g. pstree -s THATPID)?
There's been a whole discussion about the environment variable being
set right or wrong in a *terminal*, but is that really relevant? Is
the desktop menu produced by running a shell command? If not, then
the terminal is not important.
