Use X apps menu Accessories/Menu Editor to add gnome-terminal to the System
and/or TerminalEmulator sub-menus.

AND/OR

Run gnome-terminal just before the launch of xwin-xdg-menu near the bottom of
~/.startxwinrc:

$ tail ~/.startxwinrc
    if [ -x /usr/bin/fbxkb -a "x$IMSETTINGS_MODULE" != "xIBus" ] ; then
        /usr/bin/fbxkb &
    fi
# Gnome terminal
    if [ -x /usr/bin/gnome-terminal ] ; then
        /usr/bin/gnome-terminal -geometry 120x60+210+120 - &
    fi

    exec /usr/bin/xwin-xdg-menu
fi
