I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 16.10 to 17.04. I also noticed that my familiar routine of right-clicking the terminal icon in the launcher and selecting "open new terminal" no longer exists. Is there a way I can restore that "open new terminal" right-click option to the launcher?

I learned from How to open mutilple instances of the Terminal? that I can use Ctrl+Alt+T to open a new terminal even faster, or I can Window+A then type terminal. These are great shortcuts, but separate from this question.

I did also a fresh install of 17.04 coming from 16.04 and found the same issue.

I managed to get it working with: 

sudo pico(or whatever editor) /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Terminal.desktop

and commented out this line:

OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity7;

with end result:

#OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity7;

For now is working for me. Hope this helps you as well.
