Public bug reported:

glib provides g_app_info_should_show to determine if a desktop file
should be shown in the app grid based on OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn using
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP.  This isn't being honored in gnome-shell when
NotShowIn=ubuntu:GNOME or OnlyShowIn=ubuntu:GNOME and
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is ubuntu:GNOME.

glib does have tests for this that are still passing and @seb128 wrote a
simple test case to show the glib API does the right thing.

The snap-store snap in the beta channel provides two desktop files, one
to be displayed when XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is ubuntu:GNOME and one for
when it isn't.
