So, maybe a better option is to move rxvt under the Configuration menu?
Then, if a user hasn't chose console tools, they won't be confused by
the Terminals menu section, but will find a command prompt somewhere
they expect to find it (since they will likely only use it when doing
configuration - if they wanted a real shell to use generally, they could
install one?).

BTW, win2k3 server has "Command Prompt" as one of the 3 main menu
entries (moved from it's obscure position in
Programs->Accessories->System Tools in win2k, where it went from being
under Programs in win9x).

Seems even MS acknowledges that administrators want quick access to a
command prompt (although I am just too accustomted to Win+R->cmd ;-)).
