You're right, but that should be easy to check. Distributions often hide
"viewer" applications from menus, so we should only have to check that
using GIO in appDisplay.js. If needed, a list of known apps could be
created too.

Now, some apps are between both categories: sometimes I want to start my
text editor by opening a document, sometimes from the direct launcher.
But that should not really be a problem.
