[BUG] Exported Godot Engine closes unexpectedly

Problem description

Exported Godot Engine app opens (for example, through GNOME's overview) to Project Manager but upon double clicking any project name, the Project Manager closes and no project is opened. All godot processes are gone as can be verified in the process manager (ps).

However, everything works fine when godot is run from the distrobox terminal:

distrobox enter -n <name>
godot

This issues was also noted 2 months ago on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/1cm6wy8/strange_behaviour_with_distrobox_exports/

Possible solution

I haven't tested it thoroughly but setting Terminal=true in the exported .desktop files seems to do the trick.

Basically, it opens a terminal whenever Godot is run. Somehow this makes the Godot processes stay alive. Upon double clicking any project name, the following notification is displayed in GNOME shell: But the project opens nonetheless so it doesn't bother me.

(I don't really know how to view the full notification yet. Maybe through podman logs? But there's a lot of junk there. Let me know if it's important and I'll help as much as I can)

My specs

podman version 5.1.1 distrobox: 1.7.2.1 godot: 4.2.2.stable.arch_linux

Host OS: Archlinux

Distrobox Arch container: quay.io/toolbx/arch-toolbox:latest I have renamed my container using distrobox create I think. Therefore distrobox list gives me the following: So I don't know what is the exact Arch image version. Unless 024-07-09 is the version, idk.

Distrobox was installed through pacman. godot was installed in the Archlinux Distrobox container (yeah, I have both an Arch host OS and an Arch container) through pacman.
