+compiled executable is genererally necessary instead. An example
+launcher script for Gtk3 based applications is in the examples
+directory; there's also a python-launcher.c program there that can be
+compiled to supply the executable for a Gtk3 application written in
+Python.
Unsurprisingly, the main-binary tag specifies the executable to launch
when starting the application.
