Almost invariably, there are always some students in the class that did not know about the "Open Terminal" context menu option. Once they see it, almost every single one is quite excited about it and starts using it all the time since it is a whole lot more convenient. Personally, I prefer KDE, but use both Gnome & KDE regularly. I wish there was an option to launch Konsole from such a context menu in KDE. I use it all the time on Gnome. From my first hand experience, I would have to say that most people who know about it use it. It seems almost stupid (please, don't flame me, I'm not impugning anyone) to me to remove such a useful option. What does it hurt to have it there? Are we running out of space in the Nautilus context menu array or something? Give us some good reasons why that should go. -- Lamont R.
