Osso-Xterm and Bash
I really missed the capability of executing .profile/.bashrc upon opening a new osso-xterm session. That’s not a bug nor, maybe, a real issue. But makes me feel more comfortable :)
By the way, after playing for a while a found a good hack: a slight modification to the default osso-xterm.desktop:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Name=X Terminal
Comment=Terminal Emulator
Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm /usr/bin/bash
Icon=terminal
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=System;TerminalEmulator;
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executableDownload: osso-xterm-bash.desktop
It needs to be saved to /usr/share/applications/hildon
In order to have this to work, you also need bash-m package:

Hi!
I was looking for such a solution for a while: thank you very much!
Something I've noticed: osso-xterm icon in the left panel has changed from the usual 'white/back' icon to the 4-quare generic icon ie. as if osso-xterm icon was missing.
Have you noticed the same thing? May this be due to the removing of "X-Osso-Service" line? TIA.

Hi there maddler,
I was wondering if this would work on my N800? Do you uss it on the 770 or the 800? I would love to try it, but I just restored my n800 from an infinite reboot cycle and am not feeling very adventurous this week.

The "X-Osso-Service=xterm" was removed because it prevented bash from being executed. I hadn't the time to investigate.
The hack has been tested on N800, should work fine on 700 as well, it won't in any way affect the boot process.
