  Cannot add the byobu desktop launcher to Unity's launcher

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  I'm trying to add the Byobu desktop icon to Unity's launcher.

  This isn't working properly.  If I search for and run the byobu.desktop launcher:
   1) I see gnome-terminal's icon, rather than byobu's icon, in the launcher on the left
   2) If I right click and select keep-in-launcher, I get gnome-terminal in the launcher, rather than byobu.

  Byobu is a command line application, that runs within gnome-terminal.  The content of /usr/share/applications/byobu.desktop is:
  [Desktop Entry]
  Name=Byobu Window Manager
  Comment=Text-based Window Manager using GNU Screen
  Icon=/usr/share/byobu/pixmaps/byobu.svg
  Exec=byobu-launcher
  Type=Application
  Terminal=true
  Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility;
  NoDisplay=true
  X-GNOME-Gettext-Domain=byobu

  Is there something missing from this desktop file, which is required
  to work well within Unity?

  I suspect that this might be a general problem for any applications
  which run-in-terminal.  I'd think this is something we would really,
  really want to fix.  Please.
