Before this discussion, I didn't even know that 'Open Terminal' existed there. I have used Gnome for ages. The Terminal is in the start menu with all the other applications. It is a little hard to figure out where it lives. I never can remember that it is in System Tools. There are also other fast ways to open a terminal. It is easy to make a launcher on the panel. The second thing I do with a new install is make a terminal launcher. This is the proper way to do things. The launcher is in the same place with all the applications that people like to use frequently. I think it would quite reasonable to argue for a terminal launcher in the default panel. This is something which is easy for Fedora to change. And something which Fedora already customizes. - Ian -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
