To quote someone at Red Hat: "Amen Brother." I will now have to update another
couple of internal FAQ's, train a bunch of window techs on the new place to tell
their customers for the hidden terminal, and just be plain grumpy for a bit.

On trying to get a positive outlook on this.. how does someone make a
'corporate desktop' for GNOME? If I want to push out 200 machines with
every fricking user having a
terminal icon on the background and on the menu bars.. how is that
done? I think it will
be easier to go this route and let the GNOME hackers go off mammoth
hunting for a
while...
