Comment 24 for bug 129041

Thomas, I don't understand why you think I'm making a personal attack.

I understand that "ugly" and "beautiful" can be subjective but the icon does look dated. It uses an olive green square background without rounded corners. CRT monitors are not popular these days. The icon is also pixelated which is interesting because the icons at http://invisible-island.net/xterm/ aren't.

Ubuntu since the beginning has had the goal of shipping with only one app for a purpose, i.e. Firefox or Chromium but not both. Ubuntu users who prefer xterm to gnome-terminal are fairly rare and should be able to figure out Alt-F2.
