Bug Description
The Exclude Application chooser appears to include all .desktop's including many that don't make sense like:
- Python v2.7
- Network Connections
- Compiz
- GNOME Shell Classic
- View File
- Window Manager
I think it would be better for users to only have relevant apps show up in this list.
GNOME 3.8 has a new Notifications panel in Settings that allows users to customize GNOME Shell notifications. Apps show up there either because they've explicitly opted in (see https:/
Zeitgeist could do something similar. Show apps in this list once one event has been logged from the app. And also make a way for app developers to signal to zg that they log to zg even before they have logged one event.

The best way I can come up is this
AllApps = All apps which have a desktop file
AppsWithNoDispl
AppsAlreadyLogged = Apps which have already logged atleast one event
AppsInDsRegistry = Apps which have their actor set in atleast one of the templates of DataSourceRegistry
The correct app list should be
(AllApps minus AppsWithNoDispl
This is closest to solution but would be good to have a CheckBox
[ ] Show all applications which will show items in AllApps
