Bug Description

On first use of a context that requires a terminal or a file manager, a dialog asks which program it should use for this function (including the menu selections for these). There should be a reasonable default set out of the box.

in the file /etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntustudio/xfce4/helpers.rc the terminal and file manager are set to:

FileManager=thunar
TerminalEmulator=Terminal

 they should rather be set to:

FileManager=Thunar
TerminalEmulator=xfce4-terminal

I am not sure why thunar must be capitalized as either way will work from command line, but that is what the dialog uses.
