My feeling on terminal on the panel has always been that it takes approximately 2 seconds to add the icon, so I haven't ever understood why people feel it's so important to have there by default.

That's because of first impressions. You already have a whole lot of other apps there, why not the usual terminal?

Some folks take a while to learn that right-clicking will only then bring up a new terminal (easily).

If we have Mozilla there, and we do OpenOffice.org, maybe we ought to just have a terminal there as well. And if its meant to take up less screen real-estate, reduce the panel-size by default (its 48x48 iirc which is way too large, imho).
