ROXTerm shows up as "Vim"

Both icon and tooptip are "Vim".

But the menu says "ROXTerm".

I restarted ROXTerm and took another screenshot: As you can see, it's a "clean" terminal; I haven't ever run Vim inside it.

I'm going out on a limb here but I bet you have a launcher for VIM somewhere. And that launcher is probably something like:

EXEC=roxterm -e vim

Am i right? Run this command in BOTH /usr/share/applications and ~/.local/share/applications

grep vim *

And paste the output here.

Also, please run roxterm and while it is running, give us the output of:

ps -ef | grep roxterm

And attach the .desktop file (launcher) for ROXTerm to this bug report (which probably is in /usr/share/applications).

To Robert Dyer:

You're perfectly right. I created it some time ago with System->Preferences->Main Menu. When I noticed the problem with Docky I tried to delete that (again in "Main Menu" dialog), but it just seemed to hide it for me. Nevertheless I think this issue should still be considered a bug; the algorithm for matching application with Launcher needs to be improved.

Output of ps -ef | grep roxterm:

xiaq 8792 1 4 22:51 ? 00:00:00 roxterm
xiaq 8802 8794 0 22:51 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto roxterm

~/.local/share/applications/alacarte-made-1.desktop:
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=roxterm -e vim
Hidden=true
Icon=vim
Icon[en_US]=vim
Name=Vim
Name[en_US]=Vim
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Version=1.0

/usr/share/applications/roxterm.desktop:
(see attachment)

Whats to improve? You have a launcher that says 'exec=roxterm' and Docky matched it. The reason it picked that one (instead of the one you attached) is because it is a 'user' one and overrides the global ones. The algorithm is working as intended.

I do however have to ensure that we arent matching Hidden launchers.

Apparently we werent checking for Hidden=true. Fixed in rev 1759.

That doesn't look perfect, but perhaps fine enough. Thanks for the fix.
