Pleas return back xterm.desktop file.

Now Unity, Gnome Shell, Gnome-do, all of them recognize programs by
their associated .desktop file.

Because of missing xterm .desktop file it is not possible to add xterm
to unity's or gnome-shell's dash, also it is not possible to launch
xterm trough launchers mentioned above.

gnome-shell even does not group several xterm windows, because of
missing .desktop file.

As I understand all applications must have associated .desktop file to
work properly, xterm is not an command line program, so it must have
associated .desktop file.

xterm can be removed from menus, etc., but it must have .desktop file,
because new desktop environments heavily use them in various ways.
