For the Mailing list.

This works and allows starting eric4 from the menu as an "application" 
rather than an "application in a terminal."
Konsole is of course a KDE based application. So for use on Gnome based 
Ubuntu there is KDE overhead to load.

Detlev got me started , as I did not understand possible Console Commands.
Now I have it set up with Console Commands using the lower overhead xterm:

xterm -rv -bc -fn '-*-courier-bold-r-normal--*-130-*-*-*-*-*-*' 
-geometry 80x10+280+1000 -e

see x(7) man page for details of above options and the xterm man page 
for the "-e" option

Thanks Detlev, I like it as it gives me the ability to better optimize 
my dev space.
