Bug Description
I've been using rxvt forever: I think the display quality is much better than xterm and it's far less resource-intensive than gnome terminal.
I just installed 12.04 and when I added the rxvt package, I could find no way to launch it. It doesn't appear in the dash. I can't find any other way to run it, except browsing to it in /usr/bin with the file browser. Even after that, I can't find any way to add it to the left panel so I can start it again. The best I can do, as far as I can tell, is add a shortcut to the desktop which is bogus.
$ lsb_release -rd

In the mean time while I make a .desktop file of 'rxvt', press ALT+F2 to get to the 'Run a command' screen, then type in 'rxvt'
