lets say i created a container called "container":
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ls .cache/libertine-container/container/rootfs/
bin  boot  dev  etc  home  lib  media  mnt  opt  proc  root  run  sbin  srv 
sys  tmp  usr  var

i installed the xterm package inside that container, this brought the 
"debian-xterm.desktop" file with it:
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ls 
.cache/libertine-container/container/rootfs/usr/share/applications/debian-xterm.desktop 
.cache/libertine-container/container/rootfs/usr/share/applications/debian-xterm.desktop

libertine needs a .desktop file outside of the container to execute the 
desktop file inside the container.
it identifies it by having the container name, name of the .desktop file 
inside the container and the value assigned to the DISPLAY variable for 
XMir in the filename (currently only 0.0 is supported to my knowledge).

so for me the three parts of the filename have to be:

1. (container name): "container"
2. (target .desktop file name): "debian-xterm"
3. (XMir DISPLAY=): "0.0"

the three bits need to be connected by underscores... this results in the 
following filename:
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ls 
.local/share/applications/container_debian-xterm_0.0.desktop 
.local/share/applications/container_debian-xterm_0.0.desktop

while the file *name* above defines what gets executed, the file *content* 
defines how it is presented to you in the unity8 "Applications" scope, for 
this you set the "Name=" and "Icon=" values in it and do not touch any of 
the other bits of the file content:
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cat 
.local/share/applications/container_debian-xterm_0.0.desktop 
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=xterm
Exec=/bin/true
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Icon=.cache/libertine-container/container/rootfs/usr/share/pixmaps/mbterm.png
Keywords=Libertine
NotShowIn=Unity;
X-Ubuntu-Touch=true
X-Ubuntu-XMir-Enable=true

i hope that clearifies the format a bit ... 

ciao
   oli
