External Execution terminal under Linux (and possibly others unix)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use a GNU/Linux distribution
2. Don't have gnome-terminal installed
3. Try to execute some python code as an external program

Expected output: a terminal open, and the program is started inside.
Instead, nothing append.

If Konsole is installed, it is started with the wrong parameters (-s
instead of -e). If just xfce4-terminal is installed, nothing append, it is
not tried.

I think the file-service plugin should contain a list of various terminals
(with their option to start a program), and Crunchy should try theses
programs. The last should be xterm (with -C option), since it's installed
in almost all GNU/Linux systems.
There is also an xdg-terminal script from FreeDesktop.org
(http://portland.freedesktop.org/wiki/), inside their cvs. It doesn't seems
to be alive, it may be a good idea to left it as the first choice.
