Suggestion: add a delay before closing the terminal for the desktop icons with the 'Run in terminal' property set.

Description
So, at the moment, when creating the .desktop file to serve as desktop icons and lie in ~/Desktop, it is possible to set an option 'Run in terminal'.
One common usage of this option for would be debugging GUI applications which print some debugging output to stdout, but are usually launched from the GUI.
At the moment, however, if launching the command fails, the terminal window is immediately closed, thus making it impossible to, for example, see the cause of a crash of the application being launched.
Suggestion: either add an option to 'not close the terminal window after the process has finished', or add a delay option.
The example file would be:. ~/Desktop/example.desktop
