well perhaps there are 3 categories of users: a) people who intentionally use xterm (and don't mind the menus) b) people who more/less accidentally run xterm c) other (probably not gnome developers) Are you addressing (b)?
I am not addressing a specific user category and I am not a gnome developer. It is just a matter of fact that gnome (and kde, xfce and lxde, btw) have their own well integrated terminal applications and thus xterm should not show up as an additional alternative in the menus *in these desktop environments*.
It may still show up in openbox, windowmaker and whatever. I am merely suggesting to add "NotShowIn=GNOME" to the desktop files, not "NoDisplay".
