That'd go against any version of "set_app_id" I've seen. The .desktop file of
gedit is "org.gnome.gedit.desktop", gedit is a D-Bus activatable applicatoin.
According to xdg_surface.set_app_id it should definitely not be "gedit".

If you think xdg_surface.set_app_id is wrong and should be some "binary name"
or similar, unrelated to .desktop file names and D-Bus names, then we'd need to
change the spec (and probably not call it anything with "ID".

The question is rather, how do we get a valid name to pass to
xdg_surface.set_app_id, which id should be the base name of the .desktop file.
Can we force GtkApplication apps to set the prgname to this and put that use
case in the API docs?
