When I try to open any file with Vim from File Manager (thunar, nemo, caja
tested) using Open With dialog and choose option provided by
/usr/share/applications/vim.desktop, Vim is always opened in xterm (and failure
happens, if xterm is not present), disregarding which terminal is used as x
-terminal-emulator provider. In this .desktop file "xterm" is not mentioned,
only
"Terminal=true" is stated.
