Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't it make sense to include
exactly those applications for which the user already defined an
account?
This may be hard to do from a technical point of view, but seems like
the right behavior. For example, If someone has no e-mail account
defined in Evolution, then there's no reason to include Evolution in his
messaging menu. Conversely, if he already went trough the trouble of
adding his account to Evolution, he presumably wants to see Evolution in
the menu. This would get rid of the entire application blacklisting
problem by showing the applications that are relevant to the user.
