I'm just guessing here, but follow my logic...
DSL recently changed default shells, from rxvt to aterm. Most of the gtk2 apps I have contributed, I start with a wrapper, something similar to start_gimp or start_gftp, tucked inside /usr/bin.
The wrapper allows you to execute a process, rather than open a shell, then run a process from that shell, essentially leaving 2 shells open during the use of the app.
Also, a wrapper gives you environment options, like exporting PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to direct the seek of dependancies to certain directories.
I'm thinking here that the wrappers might need more than just #!/bin/bash to startup the apps.. Or , perhaps the aterm opens as "Unnamed" by default?
Not an answer, I know, but food for thought.
Maybe change to something like this in the wrapper " exec aterm -tr -T "gFTP" -e /usr/bin/gftp "
