Whichever's more practical. I mention it here because of
bluetooth-sendto.desktop.

The apps should, because there are more of them; but, either way, it becomes
a little silly if both blueman-sendo and bluetooth-sendto are available
(which, I suppose, could happen if you have different users who prefer
different desktop environments). It doesn't seem avoidable without extending
the specification or telling them to hide entries.
