I'm curious what the original rationale for adding OnlyShowIn /<br>
NotShowIn to desktop actions. Personally, I think applications<br>
switching behavior based on what desktop environment they're in is<br>
wrong. I'm curious if we can remove these fields for desktop actions<br>
from the desktop entry specification, since I cannot think of a valid<br>
use case for environment-specific<br>

Hey,<br>
<br>
There is probably no need to specify a target-desktop in most case, but I can see the option being useful for some specific cases ... what's the issue with keeping it as an option is somebody feels like the need to use it? </blockquote>

(I don't have specific examples in mind, but I can see it being used for desktop specific features or e.g when different desktops have different design views on what items should be exposed in their UI ... imagine an IDE, you might want have a list item "start Qt project" and "start KDE project" under KDE and "start GTK project" under GNOME or XFCE)<br>
