Well, most people will just have

Address book
...
Terminal

Instead they get
KDE Address Book
...
KDE Terminal

1. Don't do anything because it is just a corner case
2. Use OnlyShowIn where it makes sense.

BTW: We are already using OnlyShowIn in quite a few places. If we
started renaming things depending on the desktop we should also stop
using OnlyShowIn and rename these apps, too. Then we would see the whole
extent and how ugly this is.

While I agree with upstream that both the package and the binary should
be named xfce4-terminal I think the menu entry should remain "Terminal"
rather than "Xfce4 Terminal".
