I understand there was a thread on this previously, but that the protest
failed, so I am here to renew it. rxvt needs a menu entry. I understand
the reasoning it does not have one is that it is a required component,
and if the user doesn't select any terminals the user should not have
any terminal menu.. this logic is just plain wrong. This is *linux*.. a
terminal is an expected, nay *required* piece of software, and should be
made available by default via the menus. What if I'm configuring a
server box and I just want a basic system.. say, X + TWM.. I don't like
any of the other terminals.. I'm used to my rxvt. I boot up mandrake
after seeing that rxvt is a default package to be installed and what..
no terminals menu? No rxvt? Anywhere? What the.. ?
You see where I'm coming from. It's foolish to try and remove the
terminal from linux, especially when even Microsoft has realised that
the terminal is essential to an OS (it's my understanding that the next
generation of windows will have a more prevalent terminal / command prompt).
I plead for some sanity, please put the menu entry back in. Let the user
that doesn't want a terminal remove the entry (it would give them an
excuse to learn menudrake), and don't make the 99.99% of us who do want
it have to load up menudrake just so we can gain access to a terminal.
