Package: bsdgames
Version: 2.17-33
Severity: minor

The .desktop files shipped in /usr/share/applications/bsdgames/ set
"Terminal=True" with a capital T.

The Desktop Entry Specification defines boolean values as lowercase
"true" and "false". On Linux Mint 22 (Cinnamon, Ubuntu 24.04 base),
launching a game from the Games menu does nothing visible: the game
starts without a terminal and exits immediately.

After I copied the launchers to ~/.local/share/applications/ as
bsdgames-<name>.desktop and changed the line to "Terminal=true", the
games open in a terminal as expected. Suggested fix: change
Terminal=True to Terminal=true in all of the .desktop files in the
package. Example, from bsdgames-adventure: Exec=bsdgames-adventure
Terminal=True Categories=Game;AdventureGame;ConsoleOnly

Thanks, Daniel Krulewich
