Okay.  That is great.  I have been used to opening terminal windows with 
the right click for years.  I have to ask: why was it removed?  Is it to 
keep "ordinary users" from having access to it?  Adding it back with the 
command mentioned at the above link is easy enough but I really question 
the wisdom of removing it in the first place.
