Just add a launcher to a > panel. I have a launcher on the panel, but to be brutally honest, I don't want to have to travel to to top of the screen each time I want to launch a terminal. On a 1920x1200 screen, that top panel is a long way away when you're using a trackpad style laptop mouse. You could argue the same could be done with all the other options in this menu and we could just do away with the menu. ;-] At least with the gnome-terminal option, the resulting terminal is always visible. On the other hand, the Create Folder option often creates a folder that can't be seen as it's covered by windows, so it's arguably a little pointless (this is probably a bug worth filing (new folder should always appear on desktop where it's visible). Can someone point to the thread where removing gnome-terminal was discussed? I know this seems a little my-workflow-isn't-the-same-after-this-change-so-this-isn't-acceptable but there are plenty of people who use terminals in gnome and I'm sure that more than a few of them launch them this way. A gconf variable I can set to re-add it to the menu would be more than acceptable. Rodd -- "It's a fine line between denial and faith.
