Description Pacho Ramos 2015-06-26 18:11:23 UTC 
We are needing to change desktop file for a long time to allow it to be shown in other desktops. It would be nice if this could be finally accepted:
--- a/desktop/geary.desktop.in
+++ b/desktop/geary.desktop.in
@@ -17,5 +17,3 @@
 [Desktop Action Compose]
 _Name=Compose Message
 Exec=geary mailto:
-OnlyShowIn=X-Messaging Menu;Unity;
-

Thanks

I think this point of this is that the compose action doesn't really make sense outside of Unity's messaging menu.  I don't want it showing up on my GNOME applications list, for example.  If there are other environments where the compose action would be useful, let's add them to this line, rather than getting rid of it completely.

Hi Pacho, is this still an issue for you? If so, what desktop, distro and version of each are you using?
Comment 3 Pacho Ramos 2016-08-17 12:22:43 UTC 
We are still applying it but probably because original maintainer didn't understand properly that the OnlyShowIn was only referring to [Desktop Action Compose] and not the full desktop file
Comment 4 Michael Gratton 2016-08-17 13:03:54 UTC 
Oh, I didn't get it either! :D Like Robert, I assumed this was a Unity-specific extension. Only after some digging did I realise it has been standardised.

Patch applied and pushed to master as 45773c. Thanks!
Comment 5 Michael Gratton 2016-08-17 13:04:55 UTC 
PS: This won't make it in to 0.11.2, because it might change behaviour on desktops I haven't tested it on, but it will be in 0.12.

Thanks a lot!
