Bug Description

catting /usr/share/applications/system-config-printer.desktop shows all the information there, so it's in the .desktop file, the dash just isn't picking it up.

It doesn't like the NotShowIn=GNOME it seems, dropping GNOME from that key makes it listed

I see "We now set call DesktopAppInfo.set_desktop_env ("GNOME"); on startup to make AppInfo.should_show() work correctly" in the changelog, not sure why that was required but our environment nowadays is "Unity" not "GNOME"
