Since everyone is ignoring this and talking about whether the Options menu exists, let me try again: I think "aptitude why xfce4-terminal" will probably tell you something like this: dan...@emurlahn:~$ aptitude why xfce4-terminal i xorg Depends xterm | x-terminal-emulator p xfce4-terminal Provides x-terminal-emulator It won't be removed automatically because xorg depends on it.
