bug#49505: 28.0.50; Multiple launchers in GNOME

[Manuel Uberti]

Hi,

I built Emacs master (commit: 3fa711c11d1497418fdf8a866b7ba52dd3b00e0e)
and now I see two launchers (.desktop files) in GNOME:

- Emacs
- Emacs (Client)

The first one is the one I added to my favourites in GNOME, thus it's the 
launcher I've always used in my GNOME dash panel to launch Emacs. See attachment 
1.png.

However, this launcher now always spawns a new Emacs (Client), resulting in two 
Emacs icons in my GNOME dash. See attachment 2.png.
