Bug description:
  This is a feature request, that doesn't follow exactly a standard, but
  a "de-facto" problem: it happens quite often that you create a new
  desktop link (manally, using the "create launcher" feature of Gnome-
  destktop, or using tools like Chromium Application creator); well,
  these .desktop files are completely ignored by BAMF when matching a
  window to an application, while they should have the greatest priority
  maybe from the user point of view.

  What about adding the one line patch that would allow this? Monitoring
  the user desktop file too BAMF could be more precise when linking an
  application to a desktop file (that could be also customized)... I
  think that most of users wouldn't use ~/.local/share/applications
  without being educated to, or without an automatism that uses it
  (consider also that, for example, Chromium by default just creates
  .deskop file in the desktop folder!).
