XFCE/xftree problems

I have a problem with xfce under SuSE 8.1 that I haven't been able to
figure out.  I use xftree as a poor-man's menuing system for some common
functions since (double) clicking on a script name in a file manager menu
works pretty much the same on a variety of window managers.  Running
xfce-3.8.14 on a variety of Caldera systems, and on Apple OS X 10.2.3, it
works as expected.  Running xfce-3.8.16 on SuSE 8.1, when I double click on
a script it fires off an xterm for the script even though the script itself
is just running an xterm so doesn't need the extra terminal.

I can't find anywhere in xfce that the xftree behaviour for running scripts
can be controlled.  There doesn't seem to be any option to select ``run in
terminal''.

Am I missing something, or has xftree changed behaviour since 3.8.14?
