Here's what I do:
- Click applications and navigate to accessories
- Drag the "Terminal" icon up to the top panel.
Then I can create terminals easily from the panel.
Ideally I would like to make this the default; I think that's justified
since the Athena environment is fairly terminal-oriented compared to a
stock Ubuntu install. I haven't done the work of finding out what
populates the default panel setup and whether we can cleanly change it.
