I just attempted to update Companion via it's popup, and find that I cannot, due to the choice of "gnome-terminal" as a window to run the update, as opposed to something such as xterm (xterm -e <program> should do the same thing) which should be available on most any platform, as opposed to "gnome-terminal" that is *NOT* available on Linux distros that run, for instance KDE, and not Gnome. 

Not a biggie, but would help portability.
