Change command in DispVM example

Browse Source 
gnome-terminal isn't the best choice as terminates immediately (after
sending a call to gnome-terminal-server), so does DispVM.

**Note:** Normally there should be no need for doing this -- this is just for Qubes hackers ;)

In fact the Disposable VM appmenu used for starting Firefox contains a very similar command to the above. Please note, however, that it generally makes little sense to start any other application other than a Web Browser this way...
@ -55,7 +55,7 @@ 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:
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
[user@vault ~]$ qvm-run '$dispvm' gnome-terminal
[user@vault ~]$ qvm-run '$dispvm' xterm
{% endhighlight %}
Note the above command is issued in an AppVM, not in Dom0. 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).
