I am using command line programs like Aria2c and mplayer. the problem is that when i launch them from gnome, they do not display console output, as is the case when you open them directly in console. How can you use "open with" such that mplayer will launch in a terminal and not be silent during its usage? -- with Regards: The Chilling stories of Armed robberies with rape in mid/low income ares in Nairobi that will not be part of your prime time news.
