Description:
On Gnome the latest LSP update clutters my Applications menu with several useless entries.

Does it actually make any sense to start the "Plugins" separately? I thought they have to be called by some external application to actually make use of it. I use them with pulseeffects which integrates them into its own GUI.

Is it really needed to install all of these? Seems like this is nothing "upstream" would do. It is in the PKGBUILD so it is some kind of "Arch specific" thing.
This task depends upon

lsp-plugins consists of standalone applications and plugins.
The XDG desktop integration is for the standalone applications (not the plugins). The generated files have actually been merged upstream.
The only reason they are not in the current release version, is that upstream intends to generate them in a different way from shared documentation in the future.
