No it should work but it does not.
try on the console:
/usr/bin/display.im6
you will see display

the problem is different, in fact imagemagick read if you do not
specify stdin, and from menu entry stdin is /dev/null, therefore it
close immediatly.

Now if you are on console it use isatty before opening tty.

Thus we need to create a wrapper and use it on the deskop file:

something like this:

#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -ge 1 ]; then
    /usr/bin/display.im6  "$@"
else
  /usr/bin/display.im6  magick:logo
fi

thanks for the bug report.
