You need to create it (copy it there) first:

  cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop ~/Desktop

Then install and run "gnome-tweak-tool" package:

  yum -y install gnome-tweak-tool

When using GNOME Shell, run gnome-tweak-tool, enable "Icons on Desktop".

Double-click the gnome-terminal icon on desktop to start a terminal.
After a reboot (at least here), the terminal starts in / dir instead
of $HOME.
