[Bug 1161283] Re: Problems reported with .desktop files for sonic-visualiser

[Doug McMahon]

It would seem pretty straightforward - remove those 2 files from app-install-data, they don't belong there.
As far as sonic-visualiser, in lei of proper maintenance - 
The actual application .desktop needs help & probably the 2 mime type .desktops shouldn't be installed as they seem to do nothing useful.
Ex. of that in link
