OnlyShowIn for actions did not get included in the freedesktop spec,
because people were overwhelmingly against it. The patch for
GDesktopAppInfo thus didn't get merged.

It is a rather odd fit anyway for the messaging menu, because it
OnlyShowIn usually only contains desktop environments and not parts of
them. I think the best solution would be to stop using it, and instead
have a key "X-Ubuntu-MessagingMenuActions" which lists the actions that
should be shown in the messaging menu.

That said, this would break a lot of existing desktop files. I think its
fine to keep indicator-desktop-shortcuts around for the time being.

Title:
  Review needed for indicator-desktop-shortcuts

Status in The Messaging Menu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  In indicator-messages right now it includes a copy of indicator-desktop-shortcuts to get the actions.  This was done so that the OnlyShowIn parameters could be used.  It's not clear what the effect of not having this feature would be on the desktop overall.  This is a bug to track an investigation to see if we could just use GDesktopAppInfo instead of needed IndicatorDesktopShortcuts.
