Merge lp://staging/~laney/ubuntu-system-settings/lp1631997 into lp://staging/ubuntu-system-settings

I think I would prefer to upload this as an ubuntu2, and not wait for it to be merged, and not push it myself.

1) There's not much time before 16.10 now and it would be good for this to be on images (QA might take a while)
2) I'm not sure whether this OnlyShowIn will work on the vivid/xenial phone environments so might not be ready to land there

Feel free to do whatever you think is best with this MP

I only know the citrain process, so I've created silo 2063.

Anyway, looks good.

Cheers. No rush to upload to yakkety though (actually, it would probably
be disruptive to do that now), so take your time to QA this properly. :)

Turns out OnlyShowIn isn't honored in the app scope in unity8, which results in system-settings being hidden in unity8.

This works in unity8 and does hide it in unity7:

NotShowIn=Unity

I think you can include gnome and kde as well, it's not ideal but unfortunately unity8 doesn't support OnlyShowIn :(

Is XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP set? It certainly worked for us in yakkety's unity 8 desktop session where it is set to Unity:Unity8.

NotShowIn=Unity isn't a great idea, for your reason, because XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP contains "Unity" already in U8 on desktop (as I just said) and because the moment that U8 supports Only/NotShowIn properly then things will stop showing up if XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP contains "Unity" elsewhere too - and it would be weird for it to be different depending on how you get into Unity8.

I think that it's preferable for OnlyShowIn to be properly supported instead.

XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is not set on the device. Also dobey said the scope doesn't do anything to filter that out anyway, but I'm pretty sure the icon was showing before with this branch in the silo.
