Are things to the point where we could make rxvt the default installed terminal

Well, it's been discussed before IIRC. Certainly I'm in favour of it.

How about making two shortcuts, one for a console window, and one for rxvt?
(Actually, the rxvt shortcut should probably be part of the postinstall of the rxvt package, not?)

Just my € 0.02,
