Public bug reported:
For a scope click pkg, when using the simplest .application file as
recommended on [1] like this:
<application>
<services>
<service id="com.ubuntu.developer.me.MyClick_MyApp">
<description>Post your pictures to Facebook</description>
</service>
</services>
</application>
The installed version includes an incorrect desktop-entry field.
Incorrect because it includes the pkg version [2], but the actual
.desktop file name does not include it. The result is Settings cannot
file the .desktop file so it cannot display the icon or the name for the
account as defined in the .application file.
The workaround is to add a desktop-entry xml element that contains the
scope's fully qualified name (PKG_APP) in the source .application file.
When present, the click hook apparently uses this when writing the
generated version to the device [3]. Since it does not include the
VERSION, it points to the actual installed desktop file, thus Settings
can display the icon and name correctly as originally defined in the
.application file.

[2] incorrect generated desktop-entry example:
<desktop-entry>dropbox.canonicalpartners_dropbox_0.3.8</desktop-entry>
[3] correct entry using workaround:
<desktop-entry>dropbox.canonicalpartners_dropbox</desktop-entry>
