In 90% of the cases (and probably more, like basically all stuff on kde.org), the desktop file name is org domain + component. No need to do it again and again. A flag is a minimal price to pay, if needed. Maybe it's not even needed, because you can compute it on the fly (if not set, return org domain + component, if both set). So yes, I'd like a reminder here. At least // KF6: evaluate if desktopFileName can return org domain + component if not explicitly set.
