Hi,
It's not my decision to make but personally i think it makes
perfect
sense to keep xterm hidden. Why anybody would want it when konsole
does the same thing but fits into kde better is beyond me and keeping
it hidden reduces confusion for users who have would otherwise have
two console apps that do the same thing but if they select xterm by
accident get (comparatively) missing features.
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.
