Install one of them and you get xterm installed:

A lot of people tend to try out other Desktops/Windowmanager but still
don't want *any* app installed with it be present in the regular menus
of KDE or GNOME. So it makes perfectly sense to hide it in them. If
you use one of the others you will find it in the menu.

I personally find it way faster to use <alt>-<f2> and type xterm, if i
really want to use it in KDE (doesn't happen at all TBH).
