It's not my decision to make but personally i think it makes perfect
sense to keep xterm hidden. Why anybody would want it when konsole
does the same thing but fits into kde better is beyond me and keeping
it hidden reduces confusion for users who have would otherwise have
two console apps that do the same thing but if they select xterm by
accident get (comparatively) missing features. So far as i am aware
xterm is more of a legacy thing brought in by xdm. Either way if you
desperately need to get hold of xterm in the meantime just type
"xterm" into the search box on the kickoff launcher and it will come
up with "Run xterm". selecting it will give you xterm...
