Add appmenu for starting Terminal in DispVM

[rootkovska]

Useful cases include:

1. "wget | bash" workflows (testing/research)
2. semi-trusted gpg keys signing (create dispvm, qvm-copy master and key to sign, sign, qvm-copy the signed key)
3. generation of sensitive output which requires networking (e.g. proof of freshness for canaries)
4. etc

Would xterm be enough? It is somehow tricky for gnome-terminal, because that process terminates just after sending a message to gnome-terminal-server, so DispVM would be terminated just after starting...

I would like to have this for tmux (so that accidentally clicking the x button doesn't kill the vm).
I realize not everyone might need that, but does anyone know how to configure what gets run by the dispvm? Is there a switch to qvm-run or qvm-start ? (should there be?)

@cfcs, try this (from dom0):

sh -c 'echo tmux | /usr/lib/qubes/qfile-daemon-dvm qubes.VMShell dom0 DEFAULT red'

If that works for you, you can simply create a custom menu shortcut with that as the commend.
