Patch: launch terminal from generic desktop

This patch fixes three issues:

1. As in Bug 32927, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32927
   output of `which` was mistakenly directed to /dev/null

2. The terminal program was never actually exec'd

3. In the case where TERM=dumb or some other non-executable, we should
    fall back on xterm.
