Description George 2019-10-20 13:08:19 UTC 
SUMMARY
The autostart entry for Discover defaults enabled in all desktop environments. This causes people in Gnome or other DEs that also have the KDE stack installed to have two software centers at boot. Note that for comparison, Gnome Software Center's .desktop file contains "OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;" which has the expected behavior of not booting within other DEs.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Discover
2. Log into any DE other than KDE

OBSERVED RESULT
Discover starts along with the DE's native software installer

EXPECTED RESULT
Only the software installers native to the DE start

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch (latest) w/ KDE discover-5.17.0-1
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.0-1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.63.0-1
Qt Version: 5.13.1-2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Fix is to add the following to the .desktop file (may want to add additional DEs that depend on this component):
OnlyShowIn=KDE;

Would you be interested in submitting a patch that does this? Here's the file in question: https://cgit.kde.org/discover.git/tree/notifier/org.kde.discover.notifier.desktop.cmake

I can help you through the process if this will be your first time contributing to KDE or an open-source project!
