Notes:

* Errata for workaround mentioned in comment #5: Every org.gnome.*.desktop file does not have a corresponding duplicate file. The workaround needs to be used only for the ones that do.

* It also seems that the file /usr/share/applications/nautilus-folder-handler.desktop becomes redundant if the workaround is used. This file causes two entries for "Files" to appear in the Open With... list. Two entries for Rhythmbox also appear, but that is because of /usr/share/applications/rhythmbox-device.desktop having Name=Rhythmbox.

* With the workaround, Totem (GNOME Videos) gets actions (Play/Pause, etc.) in its context menu. The actions don't work for me in GNOME Shell. They can be removed by commenting out the Actions= line in org.gnome.Totem.desktop or by using the old-style totem.desktop file instead of the newer one.

* The workaround works in GNOME Shell. I have not seen what effects it has in Unity (if it is co-installed, for instance), and it may break things there.
