Public bug reported:

When a program itself calls gdk_set_program_class(), passing --class on
the command line is a no-op.

Gnome-terminal does this to change it's WM_CLASS from gnome-terminal-
server to gnome-terminal. Many people use --class in a custom desktop
file to use profiles as applications. While this is not needed in newer
versions of gnome-terminal (it has --app-id now), it makes sense to
support this for backwards compatibility.
