Yes, this will be based on the application identifier, I guess, which will be 
provided in the .desktop file (which we agreed would be of the form 
"nameofapplication.desktop"). The worse that could happen would be that the 
OCS server doesn't know about a specific application identifier. We'll have to 
make sure the identifier matches a certains regexp, though, to avoid forged 
URLs from funny identifiers :)
