Issue

See attached screenshot for the issue; where we see that the gnome-shell process actually registers more than one well-known name:
  org.gnome.Shell
  org.gnome.Shell.Screencast
  org.gnome.Shell.Screenshot

In addition to the previous, d-feet also shows another item with the unique name (not in the screenshot):
  :1.36

If you click in any of the previous items, the same introspection information is shown in the right box, as all those well-known names map to the same unique name (:1.36 in this example).

So why not merge all well-known names in the same list item? This, is for this use case, this would mean a list item with the following information:

  org.gnome.Shell
  org.gnome.Shell.Screencast
  org.gnome.Shell.Screenshot
  :1.36
    activatable: no, pid: 2263, cmd: /usr/bin/gnome-shell

What do you think of this?
Comment 1 Thomas Bechtold 2013-10-15 17:38:34 UTC
Sounds like a good idea. As long as it's still possible to search (in your example) for ie "Screencast" and get the entry for org.gnome.Shell .
