I do not care how deeply it is hidden in whichever menus but it should be
easy to add to the favorites and desktop. In F12 I did not find a way to add
it to favorites as did could not figure out any other way to add it to the
desktop than manually crafting a desktop file.
There are sure many nice alternatives but it does what I need and I got used
to what I use since 1990... as far as I remember without a single segfault.
I also expect to copy my dotfiles and have my expected behaviour without any
novelties.
You sound like a old-skool linuxer so i guess you know how to edit a
.desktop file. 99.9% don't need/want xterm to show up in the menu so
it's hidden in both big Desktops.
