Only applications for which there is no appropriate replacement 
already provided as part of GNOME should show up in the GNOME menu.

xterm is replaced by GNOME's own gnome-terminal in every regard. When 
it comes to emacs, generally gedit is the editor bundled with GNOME, 
but emacs is so "special" in its UI that this may justify it showing 
up in GNOME's menu. Furthermore, emacs has to get explicitely 
installed and is thus present on the system by will of the 
administrator; xterm is installed by default.
