Hi,

Where can I see the source code of the "Run terminal" menu seen in qui-domains? Does it call /usr/bin/qubes-run-terminal or does it work in a different way?

I am asking because if it is the latter, then this may be a bug:

The source on your machine is in /lib/python3.13/site-packages/qui/tray/domains.py

At line 422 is the call to
self.vm.run_service("qubes.StartApp+qubes-run-terminal", **service_args)

I never presume to speak for the Qubes team.
When I comment in the mailing lists I speak for myself.
