Description
...so that it is possible to get to the commandline without ssh from second
machine. Initial p0 firmware got it mostly right: it ran rxvt by default, so it
was possible to click Active Tasks|rxvt and get to the command line.

Of course everything should be doable without terminal; but that is not
currently the case.
It is possible to launch rxvt over ssh, but it is impossible to launch rxvt
without access to second machine, and that's a problem. Given that Other| menu
already exists, with "finger demo" (etc), having rxvt along these demos would be
useful.
(I'm not sure if mainmenu is the right component. Openmoko seems to have _two_
mainmenus currently. Having rxvt in one of them should be enough.... but it is
important that it can be started without second machine).

The goal is to be able to everything without opening a terminal. People that
claim to want a terminal can ssh in or start it manually.
