Convinced. According to 
file:///C:/cygwin/usr/share/doc/cygport/manual.html#robo164 ,
Categories and Additional_Fields parameters should be colon-separated, 
so I would put:
   make_desktop_entry mintty "Cygwin Terminal" utilities-terminal 
"System:Terminal Emulator" "" "OnlyShowIn=X-Cygwin"
-- about the icon, shouldn't mintty's own icon be used here? How would 
it be passed to cygport, does it need to be installed first?
