No way to Run command in a terminal when using ALT-F2.

[Derek White]

Title says it all.

Alt-F2
sudo apt-get update

And, nothing happens. This is quite annoying. It is "Run a command" not "Run a GUI application".

---------------------------------
Desired solution:
- having a checkbox "run in a terminal" in an alt + F2 view. This checkbox will spawn the default application terminal and run the command there.
- The fallback can be as well, for every command we don't find a desktop file for it, run in a terminal by default.

Do we need a "run command in terminal" option?

As for the filter thing remaining open, I cannot reproduce it.
