Bug Description
There are terminal applications (for example the MUA 'mutt' or the Telegram client 'telegram-cli') which need a terminal to be used because they have a command line based input/output type. At the moment it seems to be impossible to create click apps due to missing support to launch the app inside the terminal; while the .desktop file have a parameter for this:
Terminal=false
it gives an error on registering click app if this is set to 'true':
# click build mutt.click
Successfully built package in './com.
$ pkcon --allow-untrusted install-local com.ubuntu.

$ sudo click register --user=phablet com.ubuntu.
** (process:1270): WARNING **: Desktop file '/opt/click.
I think there is just a missing feature in Unity 8 and it should (when set to 'true') just start something like
terminal -e foo
where 'foo' is the value from the 'Exec=foo' parameter of the .desktop
file. This way it works in all other desktop I'm used to use.
