How to file a helpful issue

Qubes OS release

R4.3, likely R4.2 too

Brief summary

desktop files with NoDisplay=true should not be displayed in the menu

Steps to reproduce

Find a desktop file with NoDisplay=true, for example gpk-prefs.desktop
See if it's visible in the menu

Expected behavior

No entry

https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/recognized-keys.html

NoDisplay means "this application exists, but don't display it in the menus". This can be useful to e.g. associate this application with MIME types, so that it gets launched from a file manager (or other apps), without having a menu entry for it (there are tons of good reasons for this, including e.g. the netscape -remote, or kfmclient openURL kind of stuff).

Actual behavior

It's included
