But the difference you are wondering about is
1. gnome-terminal
2. Konsole
3. Shell

1. and 2. are programs that run virtual shell, i.e. /bin/sh usually.
gnome-terminal comes with GNOME desktop, made with GTK+ libraries.
Konsole is a for KDE desktop environment.

whereas SHELL is the name of the program that runs

/bin/sh
/bin/csh /bin/zsh are some example of SHELL programs, they provide interface to linux.
