I am not addressing a specific user category and I am not a gnome 
developer. It is just a matter of fact that gnome (and kde, xfce and 
lxde, btw) have their own well integrated terminal applications and 
thus xterm should not show up as an additional alternative in the 
menus *in these desktop environments*.
It may still show up in openbox, windowmaker and whatever. I am merely 
suggesting to add "NotShowIn=GNOME" to the desktop files, not "NoDisplay".
