Hi all,

In Qubes 3.2 the obvious way to start a gnome-terminal in its own
disposable virtual machine is:

qvm-run '$dispvm' gnome-terminal

However, this doesn't work!  The gnome-terminal process exits immediately
(it spawns gnome-terminal-server in the background to do the real work),
and the VM shuts down prematurely.  Qubes 4.0 has the same problem, but
with different notation above.  I suspect this is the reason that an xterm
is on the DispVM menu instead of gnome-terminal.

Anyway, I think I have a solution, based on systemd:

qvm-run '$dispvm' "gnome-terminal; systemctl --user start
gnome-terminal-server --wait"

I haven't yet tested the analogous command on Qubes 4.0, but I expect this
approach should work there too.

Kind regards,
Andrew
