Hello everyone!
Here's real-world breakage due to the old vendor prefix in .desktop
file names.
$ rpmls empathy|grep desktop$
-rw-r--r-- /usr/share/applications/fedora-empathy.desktop
GNOME Shell wants "empathy.desktop" instead for its default Dash favourites:

[...]
I've not opened a bugzilla report about this, because there are over 200
open tickets for empathy, and I can't tell whether the empathy packagers
would like the suggestion to rename the .desktop file instead of gnome-shell
having to be patched.
[...]
It's time to get rid of the old vendor prefix, even if that causes minor
breakage for app links on desktops.
