Hm. The desktop file with xdg-open is probably the best answer for
other desktops that we have right now; you would use NotShowIn=GNOME in
the desktop-agnostic desktop file, and OnlyShowIn=GNOME in the GNOME
web app's desktop file. But this is not a very good answer since it
requires duplicate desktop files and special treatment for GNOME.
