} The xterm icon seems wrong to me because we're not going to be running
} xterm; we're (probably) going to be running gnome-terminal. And the
} user probably shouldn't have to know the difference anyway. So the
} presence of a red or gray "X" seems misleading at best. There's
} nothing particularly "X" about the terminal we're running.
}
} (It's also questionable whether "terminal" is even a good metaphor
} these days for what they'll be launching; most users have no
} experience with serial terminals and probably think of it as just a
} command-line prompt. Unfortunately, "command-line prompt" doesn't
} really evoke a graphical image.)
Maybe it should have a % in it?
