Fixed in the installer in 676eb5880ec2fae03752513c2442aae0bda9bfc4.

This part is quite easy to modify and test, so if you have other ideas,
give them a try!

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hello,

With the graphical installer, When only installing i3-wm as desktop
manager I got an error like:

 i3-sensible-terminal error...

because there is no terminal emulator installed by default

The workaround is trivial for users but what about to add a terminal
emulator to the installer generated list of installed packages?

Thanks! Gio'.
