Regarding the issue you have with 7 variations of 'Terminal' - I guess that these have below them in smaller, grey letters, variations on 'Konsole', 'Konsole', 'Xterm', etc...
If you wanted to switch them to have the application name as the main title, and the 'Description' as the grey, smaller letters (I have no idea why this is not the default...) then you can right click on the 'K' icon in the corner (that opens Kicker, or Kickoff, or whatever) and select Application Launcher Settings, then tick the 'Show applications by name' box. Might help.
