Bug Description

While trying to get hello-unity into the Sound Menu, I discovered that it would not appear if my hello-unity.desktop contained "Name=Hello Unity" or "Name=Hello\sUnity". If I changed it to "Name=HelloUnity" or even "Name=Hello_Unity", they it would appear in the Sound Menu.

The XDG spec says the Name field can contain any ascii characters, and can also use \s instead of an ascii space, but the Sound Menu doesn't seem to allow apps with these in the Name field.
