Hey there, To be dbus activable applications need to rename their .desktop [1], we started seeing some applications doing that (e.g gedit renamed from gedit.desktop to org.gnome.Gedit.desktop)
That's creating an issue for users/distributions, since the old .desktop name is written in launchers' configuration and mimetype handlers configurations. Is there a recommended way to deal with the upgrade issue? Should applications keep shipping a .desktop with the old name and NoDisplay or something around those line? Should a new "alias" kind of key be added that would allow the new .desktop to declare claiming other names as well (would require updating parsers and it might make handling of conflicts non trivial) Thoughts?
