Mathematica not an option to pin to docky (lxde & openbox)

When I run Mathematica, I notice it isn't an option to pin to Docky.

I navigated to ~/.config/gconf/apps/docky/Interface/DockyPreferences/Dock1 and added to the launcher section %gconf.xml

 <li type="string">
                                                                                
     <stringvalue>file:///usr/share/applications/mathematica.desktop</stringval\
      ue>
    </li>

Now an image of Mathematica shows up on the launcher. I then created a mathematica.desktop in /usr/share/applications with the following entry:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Mathematica
Comment=Scientific computing using Wolfram Mathematica
TryExec=/usr/local/bin/mathematica
Icon=/usr/share/mathematica/10.1/imagelib/mathematica-10-spikey.png
Terminal=true
Type=Application
Categories=Education;Science;Math;

If I click the Mathematica icon, the program doesn't launch. I have tested that /usr/local/bin/mathematica will launch the program as well.

My question is what else do I need to do in order for Mathematica to launch from Docky?
