CentOS - Aug 2016 - Duplicate *.desktop entries for GNOME in /usr/share/applications

Hi,

Today I noticed something strange. There seem to be a series of
duplicate desktop menu entries in /usr/share/applications.

Example: gedit.desktop and org.gnome.gedit.desktop

Other example: nautilus.desktop and org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop

This is annoying, since I usually edit some custom menu entries for my
users. Now, if I edit both files for a single application, I end up with
duplicate menu entries.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Niki

Do the duplicate entries contain the same 'Exec=' line?

After some experimenting, I found a solution.

I just edited the org.gnome.something.desktop files and then put a
single NoDisplay=true option in the corresponding something.desktop
file. Works perfectly.
