Build Identifier: 

In menu.xml files shipped with xfdesktop, the icon naming scheme for terminal isn't really consistent. In most of them it's gnome-terminal, but in menu.xml.fr it's only terminal.

xfce4-panel seems to use xfce-terminal, so I guess for Xfce consistency it'd be nice to have xfdesktop uses that too. Attached is a file against xfdesktop4 4.4.0 which should do that.

No, xfce-terminal isn't themable (well, it is, but no one actually themes it in actual icon themes).  'terminal' is the official XDG icon spec name (which isn't widely used yet), and 'gnome-terminal' is pretty much available in every icon theme.  I'm fine leaving it as-is for now.  If you want to change this, please test with a variety of icon themes first and report which ones work (i.e., the icon gets themed properly) and which don't.

mhmh, I can understand that. The correct name from xdg seems to be "utilities-terminal", though. I don't know how many themes follow theses spec currently, so keeping gnome-terminal may be a good idea.

Except that it would be nicer to have the icon consistent in every menu files (see menu.xml.fr for example), and possibly consistent with xfce4-panel (which seems to use xfce-terminal, but...)

I don't know what to think about this, I let the WONTFIX tag but I think it'd be better being consistent.
