If an app uses GTK+ or Qt, does that alone always imply that it satisfies the
desktop entry spec's requirements for StartupNotify=true, i.e. no further
examination of the app's behavior is necessary?

"If true, it is KNOWN that the application will send a "remove" message when
started with the DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID environment variable set."
