1 is not a problem as long as we don't change anything. People can
install and run what they like
2 is not a problem as long as we don't change anything. People can run
any terminal in any environment and they can configure their menu.
There only is a problem when 1 and 2 are combined: In a multi-user
install where users are using different desktops and do not want to use
the default terminal of that environment. This is 3 conditions combined
and I consider this a negligible cornercase that is not worth the
hassle.
