Don't declare StartupNotify=true in panel-specific desktop filesstartup-notify
As per the Startup Notification Spec, when an application declares this
in its desktop file, it the launcher (e.g. the shell) will initiate the
startup process, expecting the launchee to finish it with a "remove" X
message once it's ready, unless there's a failure launching it.
The problem here is that this panel-specific desktop files declaring that
key confuses the shell, since it will make it initiate the startup process
but then no "remove" message is ever received if g-c-c was already running,
since the newly launched process will realize it's not the main instance and
will exit gracefully after handing over control of the situation to the
original process, with exit code 0, leaving the startup process unfinished.
Due to this, the shell will keep waiting for a supposedly new application
(as per the the panel-specific desktop file used to launch) to finish, which
will result in the cursor to keep spinning after the app is discarded by the
shell on a timeout.
We should fix this in a more general way (see [2]), since apps exiting due
to handing control over to a previous instance should still send the "remove"
message, but in the meantime let's make our user's lives better by not
declaring this key in any of the panel-specific desktop files.
