Reopen Issue

An opening paragraph in https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_desktop_files states:

For the purposes of these guidelines, a GUI application is defined as any application which draws an X window and runs from within that window.

Given the move from X.Org to Wayland, should this definition be updated?

We can just trivially drop "X" from there.
