Creator should use native Terminal.app instead of X11 terminal (which may not exist)

XMLWordPrintable

      Creator defaults to using /usr/X11/bin/xterm -e for terminal applications.

      But this is unlikely to exist on modern system. X11 is not installed by default and even developers have little reason to install it.

      If it does not exist, the app will not launch. Creator does not emit an error message. Creator is defective out of the box because of this.

      Instead Creator should use

      /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app/Contents/MacOS/Terminal

      which is almost certain to exist.
