Greetings. 

Is there any chance we could make the Terminal desktop file name 'Xfce Terminal' or the like? 

There are several other terminal applications that have the name 'Terminal' and when you have several installed, it's hard to pick the correct Xfce Terminal out of the menu. ;( 

I know there's old history here with xfce4-terminal and such, but thats a long time ago now?

I think we should rename the whole thing to xfce4-terminal. Terminal is a bad name (for that reason most distros rename the application).
Comment 2 Kevin Fenzi 2011-06-21 16:41:46 CEST
Yeah, thats a fine option too...

I can confirm that this name now clash with another therminal using the same name
Terminal from gnustep (yes steel alive) have the same name as this one
i ask the proyect leader and say that Terminal (with caplocking in T) is the name and terminal.app is the alternative

this make the terminal (xfce) therminal clash with the gnustep terminal

now you going to reconsider the name change for the 4.12???
