Description:
I click on shortcut "MySQL Utilities" in MySQL Workbench GUI, and see
popup-window with header: Error during "Start Shell for MySQL Utilities"
and with textx: error calling Python module function PyWbUtils.startUtilitiesShell
I have screenshot with error report.

How to repeat:
1. Install MySQL Workbench on Gentoo Linux x86 (from portage).
2. Install mysql-connector-python-1.1.7 (from overlay).
3. Install mysql-utilities-1.3.6 (from overlay).
4. Click on "MySQL Utilities" shortcut.

How to fix.

In file: /usr/lib/mysql-workbench/modules/wb_utils_grt.py
should replace line:
    for term in ["gnome-terminal", "konsole", "xterm", "rxvt"]:
to line:
    for term in ["gnome-terminal", "konsole", "xterm", "rxvt", "xfce4-terminal"]:

Category changed. Seems to be WB proper error and not (directly) a Utilities error.

Same thing on Fedora 20 with Mate Desktop.

Had to add "mate-terminal to same line. to get it working for me.

Same problem in elementary Linux.

Added "pantheon-terminal" to fix.

Thanks.
