Thanks for the suggestion. How does this play along with the suggestion
in jhbuild/README that you create a .desktop file containing something
similar to the above as the Exec line?

I mostly use gdmflexiserver to start a new jhbuild session, and have
created the .desktop file like the README suggests to get the menu entry
in gdm. Not that it matters much anyway whether I pick it from the menu
or edit a dot file since I only pick it the first time I log in to a
test account anyway.

I just feel that we need to put some of these tips and tricks into the
docs somewhere or maybe the wiki.

Cheers
