Here's my .desktop file content 

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=wifite
Comment=WiFite , fight for WiFi
Exec=pantheon-terminal -e 'wifite --help' 
Icon=wifite
Terminal=true
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;Application;Development;
StartupNotify=false

I even used this Exec=gksudo pantheon-terminal -e '/usr/bin/x11/wifite.py'. But nothing works

Try changing the Exec line in the file to 

pkexec pantheon-terminal -e "bash -c 'wifite;$SHELL'"

or (alternate version)

pantheon-terminal -e "bash -c 'pkexec wifite;$SHELL'"

Then try the .desktop file and see if it works :)

NOTE : I changed gksudo to pkexec so that you have a better looking password prompt.

  • On my laptop exec=pantheon-terminal -e "bash -c 'pkexec wifite;$shell'" works.The previous one doesn't because you are pointing to a non-existant file

easy fix is, Go to AppCenter. Install Xterm then it works if you have Terminal=true
