3) What I expected to happen
Expected Ubuntu Desktop's start menu app search to differentiate between
"Xfce Terminal" and "Xfce Terminal Settings"
4) What actually happened
Two entries labeled "Xfce Terminal" appeared. And it's difficult to
choose the right one to bring up the terminal.
Poking further the package provided desktop files should have different names.
They do not.
cddukes@greasy-desktop:~/crypt/web$ grep Name=
/usr/share/applications/xfce4-terminal*.desktop
/usr/share/applications/xfce4-terminal.desktop:Name=Xfce Terminal
/usr/share/applications/xfce4-terminal.desktop:GenericName=Terminal Emulator
/usr/share/applications/xfce4-terminal-settings.desktop:Name=Xfce Terminal
/usr/share/applications/xfce4-terminal-settings.desktop:GenericName=Terminal
Emulator
Switched to LXQT desktop to report bug.
It only shows the menu entry for the actual terminal emulator
