Debian: Application not shown in section

[Stefan Blachmann]

I can confirm that, have seen such, too.
Particularly with Midnight Commander not being shown.

My wild guess is that there is some (undocumented?) setting "Show only
graphical applications" or the like in Gnome or its derivatives.
Seems some bug just looking at the mere presence of a Terminal=...
line, and not what it says.
