Bug 464968 – gnome-base/gnome-session-3.8.0: drop NoDisplay from session-properties.desktop

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

I also noticed it's really difficult to configure what apps to start or not now
in Gnome 3.8. For example, I wanted to add deluged to start and drop emesene
(as I removed it recently). I needed to run gnome-session-properties
manually... but I could do that because I already knew what app to use, it
would be much more difficult to a new user

Also, this is already patched in debian to let desktop entry to be shown:
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/gnome-session/3.7.92-1/13_display_session_properties.patch

And also reported to Fedora downstream:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=846549

Could "NoDisplay" be dropped?

Reproducible: Always

Moreover, the setting for saving a session in gnome-session-properties is present in the Options tab, but it just does not work!
