GTK gives us free support for Freedesktop.org startup notification,
but only in the simple case that we are displaying a window for the
first time from a process that has been passed the appropriate
DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID environment variable by the launcher.  With
emacsclient, that’s often not the case.

* etc/emacsclient.desktop: Don’t advertise StartupNotify support.
