The current wording likely has been inherited from very old guidelines that
only defined a primary goal, i.e. make packagers aware of the desktop-file
tools related GUI programs where we wanted to validate and/or add an installed
.desktop file as to avoid ending up with a missing menu entry.

Openbox is a GUI program, too. One could even call it "application", and that's
also its "Type=" in the .desktop file. However, it does more than drawing a
single window to run within. Nevertheless, do such .desktop files, which are
handled by display managers, follow the Desktop Entry Specification or not?
Imagine Openbox installed a .desktop file that would not be recognized by a
display manager. That would be even worse than a GUI program missing in "a
menu".
