Starting an arbitrary program in a Disposable VM from an AppVM
--------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes it might be useful to start an arbitrary program, such as e.g. terminal in an Disposable VM from an AppVM. This could be simply done this way:
``` {.wiki}
[user@vault ~]$ qvm-run '$dispvm' gnome-terminal

The created Disposable VM can be normally accessed via other tools, such as e.g. `qvm-copy-to-vm`, using its 'dispX' name, as shown by the Qubes Manager or `qvm-ls` tools. The created Disposable VM will inherit firewall settings of the ancestor VM, which is useful in some cases (e.g. when the original AppVM had networking cut off).
