Title:
  No way to Run command in a terminal when using ALT-F2.

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Triaged
Status in Unity:

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Title says it all.

  Alt-F2
  sudo apt-get update

  And, nothing happens. This is quite annoying. It is "Run a command"
  not "Run a GUI application".

  ---------------------------------
  Desired solution:
  - having a checkbox "run in a terminal" in an alt + F2 view. This checkbox will spawn the default application terminal and  run the command there.
  - The fallback can be as well, for every command we don't find a desktop file for it, run in a terminal by default.
