  notes-app fails to launch on unity8 with mir - unable to authenticate

Bug description:
  notes-app fails to launch on unity8 with mir. Unity with Mir
  authenticates apps based on their desktop file. If a process tries to
  connect to Mir, and is not clear to unity8 it has a desktop file
  associated, that connection will be rejected and the app probably
  crashes.

  This is happening with notes-app.

  Note in the SurfaceFlinger case, the
  --desktop_file_hint=/path/to/desktop/file.desktop is added in
  explicitly by upstart-app-launch scripts. But this is not done for
  Mir.

  Would suggest using this line in the desktop file, instead of the wrapper script:
  Exec=qmlscene /usr/share/notes-app/Notes.qml %u (if they take a URL)
