Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.46.1-2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

when I run Gnome Terminal, it shows up under the name "Preferences" in Gnome
Dash and in the application switcher. This also makes the application grouping
fail in Gnome Dash.

This seems to be caused by having 2 .desktop files:
/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Terminal.Preferences.desktop
/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Terminal.desktop

After I have manually deleted the org.gnome.Terminal.Preferences.desktop file,
the problem goes away.

Thanks in adance,

Ronny
