As far as I can see xterm is not installed by default anywhere. Install one of them and you get xterm installed: 9wm-0:1.2-2.fc13.x86_64 aplus-fsf-0:4.22.4-19.fc12.i686 aplus-fsf-0:4.22.4-19.fc12.x86_64 cairo-dock-core-0:2.1.3.9-1.fc13.x86_64 cairo-dock-core-0:2.1.3.9-2.fc13.x86_64 clusterssh-0:3.26-2.fc12.noarch ddd-0:3.3.12-5.fc12.x86_64 fvwm-0:2.5.26-4.fc12.x86_64 gmrun-0:0.9.2-19.fc13.x86_64 icewm-0:1.2.37-7.fc13.x86_64 idesk-0:0.7.5-9.fc12.x86_64 idesk-0:0.7.5-10.fc13.x86_64 kde-settings-kdm-0:4.4-16.fc13.noarch slim-0:1.3.1-10.fc13.x86_64 streamtuner-0:0.99.99-31.fc13.x86_64 tn5250-0:0.17.4-3.fc12.i686 tn5250-0:0.17.4-3.fc12.x86_64 uzbl-0:0-0.13.20100410gitec473e124.fc13.x86_64 xmonad-0:0.9.1-2.fc13.x86_64 xzgv-0:0.9.1-2.fc13.x86_64 A lot of people tend to try out other Desktops/Windowmanager but still don't want *any* app installed with it be present in the regular menus of KDE or GNOME. So it makes perfectly sense to hide it in them. If you use one of the others you will find it in the menu. I personally find it way faster to use <alt>-<f2> and type xterm, if i really want to use it in KDE (doesn't happen at all TBH). -- LG Thomas Dubium sapientiae initium
