Actually a workaround would be to write a very simple xfce4-terminal
wrapper script. If it gets launched with the Desktop path, launch it
with the desired options instead, else don't change the options.

On Debian based distros, such as Ubuntu it's possible to use the
"divert" command. IIRC the line would look like this (if not, Google
is your temporarily friend):

sudo dpkg-divert --add --rename --divert /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal.real /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal

/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal would be renamed to /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal.real ,
even if it should be upgraded, it automatically would be renamed.

Now it's possible to store a wrapper script /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal .
