@3vi1 - Reading the comments, I understand that this feature request was designed specifically to deliberately break applications that do not adhere to the standards that Canonical has adopted.

It is a pity, but we're unfortunately stuck with it.

If you have applications that break (you can test it in 13.04 already), you need to write requests to the developers in question; for example, X-Chat, TrueCrypt and yad (I have already written to the latter two, but received no response as yet). We depend on those developers' goodwill to change their applications, otherwise you need to use the patch kindly given to us by Jason Donahue — see comment #42.
