Bryan, thanks for starting this topic. Sorry for the late response. My understanding is the only justification for xterm being installed by default was for the FailSafeX feature which is no longer considered essential for the Ubuntu Desktop. Therefore, I filed the User Interface Freeze bug to drop xterm from the default Ubuntu 17.10 install as https://launchpad.net/bugs/1717946 Jeremy Bicha -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
