Well, the best solution is to have "<Name> <Generic Name>"
or something
like that, sans the problem cases where generic name is part of name.
It's bad to have:
Mail Client

Web Browser

Terminal

Terminal
Archive Manager

...
But IMHO it's good to have:
Claws Mail Client
Thunderbird Mail Client
Midori Web Browser
Firefox Web Browser
Gnome Terminal Emulator
XFCE Terminal Emulator
XTerm Terminal Emulator
Ark Archive Manager
Xarchiver Archive Manager
...
1. There are people who wish to use different terminal than desktop
default (it's not "just running xterm in a window with tabs" and
it's certainly not running bash everywhere. There are people who use
different shells)
2. There are multi-user installations where one user uses KDE, another
GNOME and yet another XFCE
How are you going to show both of them sensible menu entry for terminal?
ShowOnlyIn will block the first use case, leaving Terminal will result
in menu with two or more Terminals in there...
