Yea I don't really see the point in trying to brand a terminal, tbh. As long as it still says "Terminal" everywhere on the desktop thats cool with me.
I do think it needs to happen in the .desktop though because we do have third-party launchers like Synapse or an app may show up somewhere unexpected like the zeitgeist privacy plug. Suddenly you're trying to patch a whole range of apps instead of fixing it at the source.
