This has finally been fixed in Ubuntu 17.10 by not installing xterm by
default.
Anyone that wants to use xterm is welcome to install it and it will have
its proper icon and .desktop launcher.

Thank you Jeremy let the design team look at the bug.
My comment wasn't ment to hurt somebody but the original reporter says
(1) we only need one terminal and (2) the icons are quite old and it
would be nice to have icons that fit better in the Unity shell.

hi - I should not have to explain "constructive" to you, since you presumably
have agreed to the Ubuntu guidelines.
However, I've found a poor correlation between the guidelines and practice.
"Constructive" means that you (a) focus on the actual issues, and (b) make
suggestions for improvement.
So, 9 in 9 people agree with me plus some people here plus lots of
people that I meet and also have same opnion before I ask anything but
we still need to make this ugly icons available because your opnion is
more important.
Thomas, don't take me as bad but looks like nothing will convince you.

By the way - "asking about this", etc., only indicates that you can find
people to agree with you.
That inevitably introduces a bias into the results, and makes it not useful for
this discussion.

There are 3 icons for Libreoffice on that screenshot.
Each application (xterm, xterm-dev) gets exactly one icon.
You won't be installed xterm-dev; the screenshot merely shows things
side-by-side.
The last comment is odd, since the color scheme of the "Terminal" icon isn't
like the other icons.
