This PR aims to add the method required to force
arch-update
to run in a specific terminal emulator via the desktop file to the documentation. This is to document this as workaround for people using a terminal emulator not known/supported bygio
(for whom cliking on the systray applet icon does nothing and reports the following error:gio: Unable to launch application ‘/usr/share/applications/arch-update.desktop’: Unable to find terminal required for application
).It also includes some alternatives, such as creating a symlink pointing to
/usr/bin/xterm
for the desired terminal emulator, or simply installing a supported terminal emulator.Fixes #162
