Bug Description

Open gnome-software and search for gedit. There are two results.

Upstream renamed their desktop file, and we provide a copy with the old name for compatibility purposes.

One result is for gedit.desktop and the other is for gedit's appdata org.gnome.gedit.appdata.xml. The appdata references org.gnome.gedit.desktop which has NoDisplay=true - maybe we could look at that and hide the search result.

This doesn't happen when the application is uninstalled because we added X-AppStream-Ignore=true to gedit.desktop (the one which is not NoDisplay!) so that it's only presented once.

This makes us not add the app to the store if its desktop file (same filename as the ID) is NoDisplay. It works for gnome-software, but I'm not sure if it is sane.

This will have sideeffects on things which have a metainfo file - there are several of them which should be shown in a software center, be it for uninstallation or for being extended with addons in the SC.
So you really want to not-hide stuff which has a metainfo file, or decide to ignore the issues this may cause (will definitely become a problem with more addons appearing).

Are they type "desktop"? I'm checking this here to hopefully only apply this to applications.
