Get Desktop Configuration File to run 2 programs when clicked

Question

How do I get a Desktop Configuration File to start two programs when clicked, with one of the programs being a terminal program?

Here is what I have so far: google doc

This link will let you edit the file if there's anything that needs to be changed to make it work.

irssi is the terminal program. I think you all know what firefox is.

Now I can't get the irssi command in the TWiT Live! Chat shortcut to work.

Can someone edit the file to make the irssi command work for the [Chat Shortcut Group]? — doppel.ganger, Sep 23, 2011 at 22:45

You can have a Exec line like this:

Exec=sh -c 'firefox & gnome-terminal -x irssi'
