It'd be nice here if we had the ability to only grant the ability to
install applications, not packages. We could possibly do this even
now inside PackageKit by always downloading the filelists data, and
looking for a .desktop file. It'd be even better if we could get at
the data inside the .desktop file, but that's not necessary for this.
That leaves aside the packagekit-command-not-found feature for unix
binaries, but that's more of a technical use case.
Or - you could more easily generate the 'which pkgs have .desktop files' and
propagate that into a package Provides.
since yum can install by provides - that takes care of that need.
example:
Provides: App('foo')
We're already collecting provides from .desktop files for mime types,
adding more provides would be a no-brainer.
