Bug Description

Hello,

I'm using the following versions in Ubuntu 8.04:
 GNOME-Do 0.6.0
  gnome-do-plugins 0.6.0.0-0~hardy~ppa1

I can successfully open ssh sessions using the ssh plugin when using gnome-terminal as my default terminal. However, when changing my default terminal (in "System > Preferences > Preferred Applications") to Konsole, I get the following error when trying to start an ssh session from gnome-do:

Konsole is unable to open a PTY (pseudo teletype). It is likely that this is due to an incorrect configuration of the PTY devices. Konsole needs to have read/write access to the PTY devices.

This error is repeatable for any ssh session I try to create using the plugin.

This is plugin-related. We should look into creating a terminal service...

Consider an experimental ITerminalService.

I had the same problem with rxvt.
Here's a patch that fixes the bug.
