The purpose of the change being that pure end user don't have to wonder what to do with this, while power users and developers would have it just as handy.
I find trying to press Ctlr-Shift-X with my little on the larger side fingers, anything but handy. :rolleyes: Whoever came up with that impossible combination, must be, with all due respect, a lilliputian! :p :D

Anyway to not have icon by default but still let us add it to desktop if we desire? How about a package that you could install that would add the icon?

Perhaps the next summit should revolve entirely around selecting the new name for the terminal.. ? (Sorry, couldn't help it :) )

But x-terminal is fine with me.

Almost. Command Line Interface Terminal ftw. Actually, I see no point in changing its name.

I would go for plain "CLI".

Behind this we can hide BASH, ASH, CSH or whatever comes to your mind.

Would be cool if you could configure the shell which will be started by hitting the "CLI" button.

Cheers

Oh, yeah, what about a dedicated key (à la Windows key) to boot the terminal? :P

Or to make it more device agnostic, what about this combination with the power key: long-short-short-long ("X" in Morse code) :P :P

Well that key combo right now is pretty painful to do on the N900 keyboard while holding the device.
But i wouldn't mind having to enable the icon myself not to confuse my grandma who could buy the phone too :-)

Absolutely!

But yes, a shortcut and no icon would be fine for me.

What is so disturbing about the Icon...

There are many programs and Icons I don't know and I don't even know what to do with these apps... (like Facebook, Twitter and other such things...)

So I would like to have those Icons removed, cause they disturb skilled users...

I guess even the most stupid user figures out how to close the console application. All in all it is just another application and can be opened and closed as any other app.

Anyway, I was so amazed to see a X-Terminal without hacking around!

kind regards
Bjoern

If you are going to do that please choose a better shortcut. Also what if the next maemo device does not have a hard keyboard? (unless your indirectly giving up info lol). I'd be fine with hiding it though, maybe put in settings to show the icons.
