Some additional testing:
Custom entries in ~/.local/share/applications are correctly picked up.
"NoDisplay=true" appended to *.desktop entries is honored.
The script provides another way to remove clutter from menu's.
My modified script with _shutdown group enabled commands:
ignore_files=$(mktemp)
trap "rm -f $ignore_files" EXIT
cat <<'EOF' >${ignore_files}

footclient.desktop
