hmm - I recall using Utility because that was used by Red Hat. fwiw, a quick check shows Utility unused by Konsole (since introducing a .desktop file in 2003). GNOME dropped Utility about 10 years later, in 2013: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707552 The bug report refers to 3.10 so yes, it's a reasonable change for xterm :-) -- Thomas E.
