📄 Description

rxvt needs Perl modules, thus does not work. And its blacklist is needed so that Firefox can run applications with Terminal=true in their .desktop file (depending on what is installed). The reason is that Firefox does this via glib, which currently uses a hardcoded list of terminal emulators. And in this list, rxvt comes before xterm.
