If the .desktop files have the correct attributes, then the apps scope will already show them. However, it's my understanding that we won't generally support all native apps installed to the system, as things that can be run under Mir, as so many just won't work, and even if they will launch because the toolkit has a Mir back-end, the confinement and app lifecycle restrictions would also cause problems.

In future we'll be able to run most GTK apps natively in Mir/Unity8 without using Xmir/X11. Some of them kind of work already: gedit -- --desktop_file_hint=unity8 sol -- --desktop_file_hint=unity8 However we will need a Unity8 scope that exposes the availability of such built-in apps to the user.
