Title:
  Dash ignores NoDisplay=true if desktop file name contains a colon

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in Unity Applications Lens:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “unity-lens-applications” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  If I have a .desktop file with NoDisplay=true, and a mime association,
  it should create an application that shows up in a mime selection
  list, but not in the main application search or menu.

  If I use a file named test-foo.desktop, and then invoke:
    xdg-desktop-menu install test-foo.desktop
  it behaves correctly.  No search for foo in dash shows anything, but a right click on a .exe offers up Foo as a choice.

  If I uninstall test-foo.desktop, copy it to a file named:
    test-:-foo.desktop
  and repeat the process, the Foo application appears in a dash search, which it should not.

  This impacts all CrossOver installations, and since CrossOver likes to
  establish mime types to launchers without polluting the menu space,
  this bug really makes CrossOver + Unity an ugly experience.
