There are many more... alot of gnome applications had their desktop files
renamed for the new DBus-activatable scheme.

... nautilus.desktop is now org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop
(nautilis-classic.desktop is not the same thing).

If you look at more of these you'll see the common trend of the newly
added org.gnome prefix and capital first letter in application name.

We need a volunteer for going over this. Any chance you're interested
in helping out?
(I think there's a big chance we can automate much of the grunt work.
Please join us at #debian-gnome on irc.debian.org (OFTC).)
