GNOME desktop launchers that display a terminal are non functional

bug

Possibly after an update, any .desktop file using 'Show a terminal window during execution' (

Terminal=true

Terminal=true

)
isn't working, like the

ujust update

ujust update

"System update" and

distrobox

distrobox

"Bazzite-arch" launchers.

journalctl -f

journalctl -f

shows an obvious error when attempting to launch these apps:

bazzite bazzite-arch.desktop[629926]:  err: slave.c:554: /usr/bin/distrobox: failed to execute: No such file or directory

bazzite bazzite-arch.desktop[629926]:  err: slave.c:554: /usr/bin/distrobox: failed to execute: No such file or directory

But the ptyxis launcher works, and all the target executables are available:

$ which distrobox
/usr/bin/distrobox
$ distrobox enter bazzite-arch -- echo 'Hello'
Hello
$ which ujust
/usr/bin/ujust

$ which distrobox
/usr/bin/distrobox
$ distrobox enter bazzite-arch -- echo 'Hello'
Hello
$ which ujust
/usr/bin/ujust

Launchers using /usr/sbin/distrobox-enter without 'Show a terminal window during execution' are working fine
