Renaming it to xfce4-terminal is imho also a bad idea since thats just not its name and there might be a project called xfce4-terminal once - just because there is none right now. c) What makes "Terminal" different from "FreeBSD" when it comes to writing? We all want to see FreeBSD written as FreeBSD and not as freebsd. So why do we want to force other piece of software to be written in lowercase? Do we apply double standards? If you want me to back it out, I'll do so, but please reconsider... -- Oliver Lehmann http://www.pofo.de/ http://wishlist.ans-netz.de/
