Re: want to change the default user's terminal
Did you just do a big system upgrade? Many configuration files have changed. Do a
ls -l /etc/*pac*
and merge any .pacnew or .pacsave file changes with your config files.

This may help: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 72#p337872
What DE/WM are you running? In gnome, it would be system > preferred applications > system, or you add this to .bashrc:
TERM=xterm
export TERM
where you can change xterm to mrxvt or whatever you have installed.
If you want to change the shell, here is the wiki page with links to installing different shells, like zsh or fish: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cat … _(English).
