Not actually a good example, as they're not the same thing: one is
gnome-terminal and one is Terminal (not konsole, as Tom wrote) - the
default Xfce terminal emulator. Launch them both and hit Help / About
and you'll see. It would be nice to fix that particular situation
somehow, but it's not an example for the above :)

I do agree that may be a good way to look at it, though. Do note the
word 'unintentionally' in the current criterion; that was put there
specifically to allow us to except cases where the duplication is
desired.
