Using the desktop entry key NoDisplay prevents a program from being associated with a MIME type

[Rhys]

I wanted to add a MIME type to open Chrome in incognito mode. I copied the Chrome desktop entry and changed the entries name to "Incognito", I also changed the execute command to include the "--incognito" launch parameter. I also edited my mimeapps.list to point towards this new desktop entry. This all worked fine until I added the "NoDisplay" key to the desktop entry. The whole point of this key is to allow the use of MIME types without adding the desktop entry to the apps list however this doesn't work in the latest desktop LTS release of Ubuntu. I found a previous report of this issue here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1270979 however it was closed with the assumption that is was fixed however clearly that wasn't the case or maybe it broke again the in mean time I don't know.
