Bug Description

This is from https://askubuntu.com/q/1506260/1004020 .

I'm using Rhythmbox 3.4.7 and as you can see on the picture bellow, there are some Unnamed options on Rhythmbox's icon right-click menu:
I've tried to copy org.gnome.Rhythmbox.desktop and org.gnome.Rhythmbox.device.desktop files data from Rhythmbox's GitLab to /usr/share/applications (same .desktop files), but nothing has changed.
I guess that something is wrong with [Desktop Action ...] entries
I've found a solution. [Desktop Action ...] entries were missing the Name properties

$ lsb_release -rd

# What you expected to happen

There should not be any unnamed entries in the GNOME dock or left bar when you right click for the context menu. https://askubuntu.com/q/1506260/1004020

# What happened instead

The 4 unnamed entries appear in Ubuntu GNOME. Oddly they don't appear in KDE, but this is a GNOME bug either way because Rhythmbox is made by GNOME.

# Analysis

The self-answerer added names for the 4 desktop actions. This appeared to fix the problem. However, the new names lack localization. One thing is that the 4 actions will show all the time even if Rhythmbox is not open. Based on the behaviour on KDE, I think that the GNOME developers' original intent was to populate the 4 entries using the running application and hide them otherwise.
