I use xterm as my default terminal emulator (mainly because I also use OSX and BSD, so having a cross-platform terminal emulator comes in handy). I have added an xterm icon to my Unity launcher, but it does not let me open multiple xterm windows, i.e. once one window is open, right-clicking on the icon again will not show the option of opening a new window. I know that I can open new windows from the command line, but it would be nice to be able to do so from the launcher, same as I would if I were using gnome-terminal (or any other application for that matter).

Is there a way to add the 'new window' option to the launcher for xterm?

Try mouse middle click or you can also create an own quicklist in case you made your custom Launcher entry. – Takkat Jul 22 '13 at 09:22
brilliant! Mouse middle click worked, can you put this as an answer so I can accept it? – WJahn Jul 22 '13 at 09:50
It's the default behaviour of the Launcher. As we already have a question/answer regarding this we should better link it to the "master" question - good you brought it up again this may help others too ;) – Takkat Jul 22 '13 at 09:53
