Bug Description
Having started playing with the HUD, I've encountered the following issue. I'm using thunderbird, but also have evolution installed on my machines. When I start to type "comp" in the HUD, I see
Messages->Compose new message
Messages->Compose new message
as well as other choices. One corresponds to telling thunderbird to create a new mail, the other, however, starts evolution to try to send mail. As I'm using thunderbird, I really don't want to start a different package to send a message.
There needs to be some means of dealing with this, without having to guess what the difference is. One possibility is to put the app name in parens if there's multiple identical choices. Another is to prefer a running app that provides the command. Both might make the most sense.

HUD should display on the left side an icon indicating the app the command belongs to.
