Public bug reported:
Impact
======
The ImageMagick app is ugly and has an unusual UI. Even worse, for some reason,
clicking on the app in GNOME Shell's Activities Overview doesn't appear to do
anything. Unfortunately, it is included in Debian's imagemagick package by
default. The package is useful for its command-line scripts so we can't just
not install the package.
Even stranger, there are now 2 of these ImageMagick apps with the same
name that does the same thing.
This bug is a regression from Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS where the
ImageMagick app was successfully hidden. The .desktop changed its name
(display.im6.desktop > display-im6.desktop) and added a second .desktop.
Triaging as "low" because it's a cosmetic issue (although it could be
ranked higher because of the non-working app launchers)
Test Case
=========
- Install the update to ubuntu-gnome-default-settings.
- In GNOME Shell, open the Activities Overview. Click the Show Applications
icon at the bottom left.
- Look for ImageMagick in the list. If it's not listed, this bug is fixed.
Regression Potential
===================
If anyone actually uses the app, they can still launch it from Alt-F2 or the
command line (just run 'display').
If it wasn't for the fact that the .desktop's don't seem to work in
GNOME Shell, a person could also override the override by copying
/usr/share/applications/display.im6.desktop to
~/.local/share/application
