description |
In the system menu there are Xterm and UXTerm icons by default on Gutsy.
This is wrong because:
1. There is already gnome-terminal
2. They belong in the Accesories-menu
Why offer 3 terminal programs in the gnome menu by default anyway? |
In Ubuntu 11.10 desktop by default, there are three terminals in the Dash labeled respectively as: Terminal, XTerm, and UXTerm. This is rather confusing for users who are told to just run a terminal. XTerm and UXTerm share a rather old, outdated icon and very few users will prefer using them to using the standard, full-featured GNOME Terminal.
XTerm apparently is used by Ubuntu's failsafe mode and so must be present by default.
My Proposed fix:
1.Add NoDisplay=true to the end of these 2 files:
sudoedit /usr/share/applications/debian-xterm.desktop
sudoedit /usr/share/applications/debian-xterm.desktop
2. Run sudo update-desktop-database
3. Log out and log back in.
4. Type "term" into the Dash, xterm and uxterm should not show.
5. Close the dash and type Alt+F2, now type "xterm" and "uxterm". The app shows with its icon. When run, the icon will show in the launcher and the Alt-Tab switcher.
This should be a good compromise between most users who don't need the clutter of the extra terminals and the ones who actually do want to run xterm.

When the app is running, it's also possible to right-click on the app to lock to launcher in Unity or add to favorites in GNOME Shell. If you're using GNOME Classic, you can easily use Alacarte to unhide xterm.
