Just plug in your startup scripts a modification to XDG_DATA_DIRS and
move the offending .desktop into a directory which will be used only
when using specific locale. Or you can add a .menu file which will
hide .desktop and make sure this file is merged only when locale is set
(by modifying XDG_CONFIG_DIRS at login time).
