do you mean we have to install a .desktop file for each and every broken 
application out there ? 

This is inacceptable. People will use applications we never hear about, and 
if they have a broken startup notification for those applications then its 
us who are screwed. 

The old behaviour was very conservative because it only handled apps where 
we _knew_ it would work. And if it didn't, it killed all startup 
notification on the next unmatched WindowMap notify event. This might not be 
the perfect solution, but from a users perspective it worked quite well.
