I have been going crazy with terminals and xterm for about 20 years now.
I firmly believe the purpose of a GUI is so I can have many, many
more terminal open!  Why only have one (init 3) when you can have 10
(init 5)!

That is why having the path open up in Desktop drive me nuts!
If I had my way, the context menu would have a about 5 of them
opening in various places -- none of which would be the desktop.
