+Subject: appinfo: Don't try DBusActivatable with load_from_keyfile
+
+We can't get the name of the filename, so we can't determine the application
+ID.  We'll have to fallback on Exec= for this case.

+- Add glib2-no_DBusActivatable_from_keyfile.patch: Don't try
+  DBusActivatable with load_from_keyfile. Fixes a crash when
+  starting synapse with any .desktop files installed that specify
+  DBusActivatable=true (e.g. gnome-weather, bnc#842645).
