The fix for this is easy and hard.
The /usr/share/applications/terminal.desktop file just needs this line:
StartupWMClass=xterm

The problem is that we don't own the xterm package. We would have to add a hack to another package that overrode this file which it didn't own.
Suggestions?

This bug should have been fixed in previous release, Terminal is now managed by hildonwm too. Please help to verify it.
