This is what it's going to be in long run. People who have different terminals/calculators/whatever installed are definitely the minority and what we are starting here will make the majority have lots of ugly menu entries.
I don't think it's really that simple. There is a specific problem here: Xfce's terminal application is *actually called Terminal*, it's not just listed as that in the menus. It's a bad name for the application, quite simply.
There are approaches that can be used in the case of apps that perform the same purpose and may want to be listed under their purpose and not their name in the system menus; the Name and GenericName fields exist to help with this. But if the name of the app *is* its generic purpose, that's a more serious issue. I don't think you can lump Terminal in with all those others.
