Bug description:
  Currently, Unity pretends to be GNOME.  It's a registered XDG
  environment (http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-
  spec/latest/apb.html) but no tools look for its value, and few
  .desktop files use it.

  But that's changing.  At least indicator-datetime's preference window
  wants to be only shown in Unity and not shown in GNOME.  So that's a
  solid example of why this would be useful.  And it may be useful for
  other things in the future.

  So many things need to change:
   * lightdm needs to set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
   * gnome-menus needs to respect XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP (gnome bug 653440)
   * desktop files throughout GNOME likely need to add "Unity;" to their OnlyShowIn or NotShowIn values
