Description Michael Monreal 2009-08-15 09:34:11 UTC 
Install for example the "mutter" package (in rawhide). You will get a dialog asking you to run the new application, but there is no application name etc shown.

My guess would be that mutter ships some autorun .desktop file which GPK should not pick up as a "new application".
