Public bug reported:

This is a standard conformance issue (as of
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-
latest.html)

The gnome-terminal is one of several applications that use an explicit suffix 
for their 'Icon' filed in their %.desktop
e.g.
Icon=gnome-terminal.png

instead of
Icon=gnome-terminal

Assuming I'm getting this right, this means that the application's icon
will always use the PNG version and never the SVG (assuming it's
available). As a subsequence, several visual effects, such as compiz
scale, shift-switcher and more, will display an aliased icon.

Other applications with the same issue are:
gnome-dictionary
tsclient
eclipse
gparted
graveman
gconf-editor
cddb-slave
dotedit
gnome-ppp
hwdb
thunderbird
firefox
redhat-my-default-printer
bum
redhat-manage-print-jobs
gnome-compiz-preferences
ooo-template
synaptic
redhat-system-config-printer
vino-preferences
gucharmap
gnumeric
scim-setup
inkscape
avidemux
gnome-btdownload

(using .xpm)
icedtea-java7-javaws
python2.5
icedtea-java7-java
sun-java6-java
sun-java6-javaws
jabref
mplayer
fontforge

and some third-party:
nvidia-settings
vmware-player
skype
opera
