Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 117876
The Terminal does not have a launcher on the default panel.

Description of problem: The Terminal does not have a launcher on the default panel. In older RedHat releases, it was always easy to find the terminal. Now you have to search through the menus. It's not even under "Accessories", where you would expect it, it's hidden under "System Tools". I know it's simpler to do a "/sbin/ifup eth0" than to search for "Network Device Control" in the menu. How am I to teach this wisdom to the next generation of unix users if they don't even know that there IS a terminal?
I think the idea is that the next generation of unix users won't need to use a terminal :-) Seriously, it was removed from the default RH panel long before my time but I assume the change was made under the premise that the vast majority of desktop users don't need to use a panel. For the ones that do it is relatively straightforward to drag the launcher from the menu onto the panel or setup up some other similar custom shortcut.
