Description Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2012-01-23 16:24:34 UTC 
See patch. We need this so that we can track the "Extension Preferences" tool

app-system: Recognize and track excluded .desktop files, but hide them

Some apps are excluded from the menu heirarchy, but we should still do
application tracking for them so we can recognize them when we see them.
Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2012-01-23 21:49:14 UTC 
Patch makes some sense, but why would Extension Preferences be excluded rather than NoDisplay?
Comment 3 Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2012-01-23 22:11:26 UTC 
To be honest, because I added the "Core" category. applications.menu explicitly disallows "Core" from the "Other" category, so it's not left in any hierarchy. See the bug it depends on.

It's probably easiest to just remove the "Core" category from gnome-shell-extension-prefs.desktop.
Comment 4 Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2012-01-30 15:32:16 UTC 
Not worth our time to add a new gmenu API for this.
