Bug description:
  SRU TESCASE
  1 Copy a system desktop file to a local applications folder
    (i.e. cp /usr/share/applications/gedit.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/)
  2 Customize that file, for example changing the application name or adding a quicklist
    without removing the OnlyShowIn parameter, or adding it setting to OnlyShowIn=Unity;
  3 Restart bamfdaemon and unity (or just log-out and log-in again)
  4 When running the given application in Unity, now unity should the local customized
    desktop file, and so the launcher, should match the changed parameters.

  ----
  BAMF doesn't consider any .desktop file saved in ~/.local/share/applications or any other local folder which contains the flag OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity; so, it's impossible to directly copy any .desktop file from /usr/share/applications to a local folder to customize it, without removing the above flag, and this is wrong.
