.desktop file for tovidgui-fancy

.desktop file includes entry for terminal=true, which does not appear to be obeyed.

The terminal=true property isn't getting passed over from appfinder to menueditor.  Not sure who's fault it is, but it's not xfdesktop's.

Ah, okay. I was going on the description of xfdesktop being the source for the menu, thanks for clarifying. I tried adding terminal=true to the menu.xml, but still no go.
