I have a patch for this that restores the original WM_CLASS that would
have been set with 14.10 by passing it to gnome-terminal-server.

  Description:

  gnome-terminal ignores the command line options --name and --class.
  These options are listed with gnome-terminal --help as general gtk+
  options. They should set the WM_CLASS property of the terminal window,
  so window managers can manage properties of individual windows separately.

  The WM_CLASS property can be displayed with the xprop command.

  Example:

  # gnome-terminal &
  # xprop WM_CLASS
  (point the cursor on the terminal window)
  WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gnome-terminal-server", "Gnome-terminal"

  # gnome-terminal  --disable-factory --name foo --class bar &
  # xprop WM_CLASS
  WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gnome-terminal-server", "Gnome-terminal"

  Here is how it should be:

  # gnome-terminal &
  # xprop WM_CLASS
  WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gnome-terminal-server", "Gnome-terminal"

  #gnome-terminal  --disable-factory --class foo --name bar
  # xprop WM_CLASS
  WM_CLASS(STRING) = "bar", "foo"
