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).
