Ok, I went too far, Terminal works. But I doesn't answer to 'Terminal/Open shell here' service needed by GWorkspace for example. Running midnight commander inside it is... interesting. But yes, it works as a terminal for most things. Sorry :o) >> There is Preferences and SystemPreferences. >> >> > It is lecit to have more applications that do similar things!

I just think the GNUstep project should select a set of applications and promote them as the minimal environnement. If I want to add a settings module, should I add it to Preferences, SystemPreferences or both ? Not necessarily a big deal but it might be confusing for users.
