Dear Maintainer,
This package includes desktop files in /usr/share/applications/bsdgames
All of them include `Terminal=True` which should be lowercase `Terminal=true`.
Some of these desktop files should be removed for programs that need input on
the command line, such as "wtf", as they immediately exit (by design) when
launched with no arguments.
Even with `Terminal=true` fixed, they will not launch from my menu in GNOME
where they are. Could be a GNOME problem. The games themselves work fine from
command line, but in addtion to menu not starting them, if I use gtk-launch it
won't find them in /usr/share/applications/bsdgames, only if I move them to
/usr/share/applications.
