  qmlscene based apps are not recognised as separate apps by Unity

Bug description:
  qmlscene based apps are recognised as a single app by Unity: in the launcher and alt-tab they appear as 1 icon that is a question mark. This is because Unity does not know anything but that the binary is the same (qmlscene).
  The app discrimination is done by BAMF. BAMF could:
  - differentiate the different apps depending on which qml file is given to qmlscene
  - parse the --desktop_file_hint command line argument passed when launching the app and extract the desktop file from there
  - OR be given the desktop file of the app via _NET_WM_DESKTOP_FILE
