Right but if you go on IRC then they'll tell you it's called Terminal.
I don't really want to get into "It's called Terminal except on Debian

I think it's a stupid upstream name.  I tried to persuade benny of this
before when he was about but he didn't really listen then and to some
extent I think you have to respect upstream's wishes.
