Hi Josip,

In the case of clusterssh, it's inappropriate to have it simply launch
/usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator because clusterssh has no way of knowing
whether /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator points to a terminal emulator that
supports the VT100.allowSendEvents property.  A piped dependency may ensure
that a terminal emulator exists that works with clusterssh, but doesn't
guarantee that the alternatives system has selected it.

I'll consider this, but there's something to be said for a package that
works out of the box without the user having to edit .csshrc or modify
alternatives.  rxvt is smaller and has fewer dependencies, so it may be a
better default choice.

Thanks,
Tony
