[Bug 991745] [NEW] ldminfod doesn't seem to understand hidden=true in .desktop files

[Stéphane Graber]

Public bug reported:

Several people reported being confused by the Gnome entry showing up in
ldm even though they don't have a gnome session installed. Starting it
would just fail.

I think it's caused by ldminfod not understanding the "hidden=true"
property in the session .desktop file, these shouldn't be exported at
all to the client.
