 This is an example;
 myaccountname@mysystemname:php

A quick trick is using the hold option for xterm, so in the end, 
your .desktop file launcher contains something like:

***
Exec=xterm -hold -e command
***

Another tip I've seen by searching at Google is using a predefined gnome-
terminal profile that keeps the window open and then you call it from 
the desktop launcher.
