Description:

Hello,

I was wondering if it'd be possible to add a second desktop entry for signal desktop, because at the moment, if you want to use signal-desktop on wayland you need to launch signal-desktop manually and append the following flags : `--enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations --ozone-platform-hint=auto` and it makes it impossible to launch it using a launcher. The other solution would be to modify the actual desktop entry, but the modification will get override during every update of signal-desktop.

I hope it makes sense, and would be possible. If you have another solution, I'd be happy to learn another way to fix it.

Thanks :)
This task depends upon

Arch generally doesn't create duplicate stuff. Just stick your custom .desktop file in "~/.local/share/applications/" [1] and job done.
