Bug Description
[Impact]
The marble package incorrectly contains two different user interface versions (desktop and mobile), additionally both versions identify as "Marble" in applications menu (desktop entry) and users can happen to launch the wrong Marble which gives an unintended and unacceptable user experience.
To prevent this we set Hidden=true (which is equal to it not being there at all) as
the GUI is broken on the desktop anyway, should a future patch release improve the experience we can look into splitting the packages properly.
[Test Case]
* Install marble package
* Confirm there is only one entry in the applications menu
* Confirm that starting the only marble entry launches the desktop UI [1]

[Other Info]
N/A
-----
The Menu in Marble 4:4.13.0-0ubuntu1 (KUbuntu 14.04) is squashed together and partially unreadable. It looks like Marble was build with a Mobile UI instead of the Desktop version.
See attached screenshot.

Please note that marble-touch is a different package, it will however show up in the menu as "Marble", please make sure that
a) marble or marble-qt are installed
b) running marble or marble-qt from a terminal results in this behavior as well
