\fBrofi-sensible-terminal\fP -  launches $TERMINAL with fallbacks

.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
rofi-sensible-terminal [arguments]

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
rofi-sensible-terminal is invoked in the rofi default config to start a terminal. This
wrapper script is necessary since there is no distribution-independent terminal launcher
(but for example Debian has x-terminal-emulator). Distribution packagers are responsible for
shipping this script in a way which is appropriate for the distribution.

.PP
It tries to start one of the following (in that order):
