that should work.

if you create a custom launcher for it, the critical thing to
remember is that you do need to tick the "Run in Terminal"
button. Otherwise it fails weirdly.

afaik UbuntuGIS just uses DebianGIS's package, and although I
added a grass.desktop menu file there ages ago apparently I
still haven't set it to copy into the /usr/share/applications/
dir yet. Similar for the WMaker style grass.menu file.
I'll get to that asap.
