added a conditional OpenInTerminal handler. It still begs a more robust substring search (vs startswith)

@Skidoo- Man, don’t you ever sleep??? 🙂 Congratulations, your applauncher has a improved UI, and it now does not look like it uses “columns” to display all the information, and, I tested, and it ran “ADSL/PPOE configuration”, but then again, so did the original script, at least on my computer (there I had to enter my password twice???)…
If Dave wants to use your changes, I would mention some minor points:
1- the “tweaked_applauncher.py” showed me a warning it needed lxterminal to be installed. I know nothing about python programing, but I did a search and replace in the .py text contents, using “roxterm” instead and it run great… Is there a technical reason to use Lxterminal and not Roxterm or is it a personal choice? (Roxterm is the default terminal in antiX19B1, where I tested the applauncher…)
2- now the “search bar” does not have focus when the launcher starts. In Dave’s version, you could start typing right away to search the application you want to launch…
3- my vision is not so great and I noticed, right away that now the icons look quite smaller. People with vision problems will have a hard time with smaller icons… Is there a way, for example, to allow the icon column be displayed with the height of the 3 text lines in the “column” to the right?
If before I thought antiX applauncher was ready for prime time, with this new way to display information it looks even “modern”… If solving the above points (at least the first 2), it will be perfect, even without a more detailed search available…
