In previous versions of fedora, right clicking on my background called up a menu in which my most frequently used command was selected: call whatever my current xterm-like program might be - as set in application preferences.
In fc5, not only is it absent from the handy menu, but I can't find it in any of the menus. Could someone please tell me where to find the xterm, (or gterm or whatever), command?

Applications->Accessories->Terminal. And to add it to the menu, the nautilus-open-terminal package might be useful to you. :) Although I would prefer it to put it at the top of the menu as in FC4, I don't feel like fiddling around with that. -Dan

This seems to be a gnome-terminal item. It doesn't respect "preferred applications" anymore, despite having preferred applications set to xterm.
So I'm still looking for an xterm, you know... the one that can support emacs command editing, the one that will let me run emacs inside it and still have access to my meta keys, etc.

Sorry, skimmed too fast. I haven't ever used a "most frequently used" menu item. -Dan

Haha, I think i read it right the first time. By the way, the GNOME one is gnome-terminal, xterm is the generic X terminal window, it looks different. -Dan

Yes. The generic X term is the one that handles emacs style keyboard input, honors my xproperties, etc.

It is here: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal You can add shortcut/icon to the gnome panel/toolbar by right-clicking the selection and selecting "Add this launcher to panel".
This change makes Gnome not any better than KDE. Please, some Gnome wiz, tell me how to add the Terminal menu back to the right mouse-click.
