Batis doesn't seem to attempt to solve this problem, from what I can

In the Windows world, system tray icons were used for long running
applications where putting them in the taskbar was considered "too heavy",
like IM clients and music players. This was ultimately seen as a poor
design for the taskbar which has been since fixed in Windows.

Hi Andy,
StartupWMClass usage should be considered legacy. In order to compute a
mapping from window class to .desktop file, we need to read *all* files
from disk, which is super expensive to do first thing on boot.
I wouldn't be too happy modifying it so that we have to do *more* work to
make it

This is not the right list. You want to email

freedesktop simply hosts infrastructure for systemd. The "xdg" list is
involved with creating cross-desktop standards, not with all software the
freedesktop infrastructure hosts.

This sounds like a bug in Thunar, then. Please file a bug with Thunar.

We fully support this in GNOME. It seems like a quality-of-implementation

What's the use case you imagine where the user would want to choose from a
list of IRC clients, without the list actually able to launch the IRC
client in question with a specific server/channel?

Who is "they"? I doubt somebody would use a package manager to install a
rootkit on your system. Are you sure what you're seeing is a rootkit? What
new PolicyKit modules do you have installed?

Now that we're trying to implement desktop actions in GNOME, we're running
into the issue that a lot of existing desktop actions are using OnlyShowIn
/ NotShowIn incorrectly. For a quick example, Transmission's actions are
being marked as only showing in Unity:
