I'm sorry 19 times but I must hold my position !

I find this dialog highly counter-intuitive, and I can't believe that I am the
only one. The window caption ("gideon" ??) does not reflect the fact that the
dialog is meant to insert the result of the command into the editor ! This is an
obfuscated feature ! ;-)

This feature can indeed be useful, but with at least some more "clues" for the
users.

What's more, there isn't anything to prevent from inserting a lot of garbage
into the editor (what if I type ls /usr/bin or cat *.cpp ?) 

An embedded konsole, with a window to see the result of the command would be in
fact more appropriate.
