apparently after restarting, the fix doesn’t work, like at all, no apps open, but when running x-terminal-emulator in the terminal (host-shell) it does work, weird

now trying the dconf method dconf method doesn't work because the key specifying the terminal to use is deprecated, so it relies on x-terminal-emulator
