Hi,

I'm writing a Gui+Terminal application, where VTE is embedded on window, and
the GUI Menu Items.

And i'm trying to call this action...

... calls to this action from the menu... (just fork a 'ls' command)

But i'm unable to get the 'ls' listing ...

 void VimWindow (GtkWidget *widget, gpointer gdata)
   {
   GtkWidget *vte;
     vte = vte_terminal_new();
             [b]vte_terminal_fork_command(VTE_TERMINAL(vte), "ls", NULL,
NULL, ".", FALSE, FALSE, FALSE);[/b]
           }

 
Try something like this (untested):
char [][] argv = {
  "ls", NULL
};

vte_terminal_fork_command(VTE_TERMINAL(vte), "ls", argv, NULL, ".", FALSE, FALSE, FALSE);

If I recall well the first "ls" is actually the name you want the users to see when they run ps while argv[0] has the name of the program to execute.
