[Qt-creator] cin doesn't work on Linux

[Marius Cirsta]

 OK I checked the run in terminal option and now it works. This was in no
way obvious though and the run in terminal option is a bit hidden away.

 Maybe activate the run in terminal automatically when creating a console
project , making the application output accept input ( or show a one liner
warning that it doesn't ) or just making the run in console option easier to
find ( a search for the settings would be nice especially as more and more
configuration options are available.

 Anyway thanks to all for your help.
