new menu item in lubuntu

 

I know it is an LXDE related question, but did not know where to post
it. I installed mc, then I would like to create a menu item in the
Main Menu, to launch mc in a terminal windw, without going to
lxterminal and type mc. Unfortunately could not make it work. Got
stuck. Does anybody have an idea how to do it (if it can be done)?

I created a new file, called mc.desktop under /usr/share/applications,
whick looks like:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Midnight Commander filemanager
GenericName=mc filemanager
_X-GNOME-FullName=MidnightCommander
Comment=blabla
Exec=lxterminal mc
Icon=mc
Terminal=true
Type=Application
Categories=Development;
StartupNotify=false
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=mc

Tried different variation for Exec, just to put "mc", or "lxterminal
mc", also Terminal true/false, but all variations I could think of
failed..

Thanks
Zoltan
