Public bug reported:
Having started playing with the HUD, I've encountered the following
issue. I'm using thunderbird, but also have evolution installed on my
machines. When I start to type "comp" in the HUD, I see
Messages->Compose new message
Messages->Compose new message
as well as other choices. One corresponds to telling thunderbird to
create a new mail, the other, however, starts evolution to try to send
mail. As I'm using thunderbird, I really don't want to start a
different package to send a message.
There needs to be some means of dealing with this, without having to
guess what the difference is. One possibility is to put the app name in
parens if there's multiple identical choices. Another is to prefer a
running app that provides the command. Both might make the most sense.
