This is a bit unclear; what's happened here is that emacsclient has
been merged into emacs, absorbing all the keywords and search tokens.
Should emacsclient.desktop perhaps have NoDisplay=true?

Hovering over the end "Failed", i see it's because zaz uses an XPM
icon. Since a few years we've not been supporting .ico or .xpm icons
as we wanted to keep the number of image loaders on the build servers
to the bare minimum. On the assumption the icon is >= 48x48, just
converting this to png in the spec file would magically fix this. In
my experience, most xpm icons are 16x16 and black and white, so
usually upstream needs a poke to ship something more modern.
