??? Why a differnet desktop. Just a different terminal emulator - or are 
modern Term. Emu's stupidly tied inextricably to a fixed set of other 
software that makes up a "desktop" whatever that is. I fired up 
lxterminal even though I'm not running lxde - it worked just fine. I've 
tried several others, all in my home made "desktop environment", they 
all worked.

A term. emu. is just a program for creating a window for running command 
line programs in.
