Bug Description

As said, a call to gnome-terminal is hard-coded, and clicking the terminal icon leads to... nothing.
It should either depend on gnome-terminal (ugly) or use konsole with the right options...

BTW, Why do we use gnome-terminal?
If Its no reason, I think that it should be provide both of GNOME and KDE.
For example, We use xterm.

it could call x-terminal-emulator under Debian/Ubuntu: this will point to gnome-terminal, or xterm, or konsole etc.

Some arguments are different both of gnome-terminal and konsole and more. Should we use terminal of desktop dependence?
I think that has two fix pattern.

1. Common application is used both of GNOME and KDE.
  For example, xterm doesn't use gtk and qt library. So we can use xterm.
2. It corresponds to every environment.
  We fixing GNOME(gtk) and KDE(qt) support. but the MIC code a little becomes complicated.
