Dear Maintainer,

I understand there are other issues to address, certainly, but as this is
accessible in the GNOME software store, I figured it should be addressed. You
can find the adwaita demo in the store, and it is helpful for people needing
reference implimentations of adwaita, such as for making custom libadwaita
themes. However, it seems like an oversight that there is not included with the
package a simple way to open it via a .desktop file. When you even install it
from GNOME software it doesn't tell you how to open it, which can cause minor
confusion for people just looking to see all that libadwaita can do. I'm
unfamiliar with GNOME style guides, and so did not want to attempt to create a
.desktop file myself that may break intended textual behavior, which would be
ironic for a base implimentation of libadwaita to break style. Thank you for
your time and consideration.
