[Bug 1049835] Re: Software center shows multiple entries for banshee & rhythmbox

[Robert Roth]

The same bug is reported for "Files", aka nautilus in bug #1068444. The
problem is not the fact that there are more desktop files from the same
package, but that there are multiple ones without NoDisplay=true set.
E.g. for nautilus out of the five, three have NoDisplay set, but the
remaining two cause nautilus to be displayed twice.

I don't agree with enforcing only one desktop file/package neither on
app-install-data, nor on software-center side, as there are apps which
ship more gui applications (like gtk and qt version of the GUI in the
same package, or different GUI apps in one package).

Rhythmbox is strange, as it has two desktop entries, but for rhythmbox-
device NoDisplay is set, but still, it is displayed. I guess desktop
entries with NoDisplay set shouldn't be shown in software-center, but
that needs some confirmation.
