It was not in the application menu before
With this change (and without NoDisplay) it will be displayed.

So I really think we should change kglobalaccel behavior ignoring application with NoDisplay like it should.

NoDisplay means "this application exists, but don't display it in the menus". This can be useful to e.g. associate this application with MIME types, so that it gets launched from a file manager (or other apps), without having a menu entry for it (there are tons of good reasons for this, including e.g. the netscape -remote, or kfmclient openURL kind of stuff).

IMO an improvement.

Yup, it should read Hidden instead.

What's the status of this patch?

Somewhat depends on D25089 and D25088
