non-apps with metainfo component type of desktop application

[danirabbit]

What Happened?

There are some compulsory components that currently have a metainfo component type of "desktop-application" even though they're not exactly apps:

• Authentication Agent
• Captive Network Assistant
• Intial Setup
• Notifications
• Welcome

Steps to Reproduce

Change the component exclusion if statement for compulsories to include kind != DESKTOP_APPLICATION

Expected Behavior

These components should probably not declare themselves as "desktop-application" but its unclear to me what fits better.

Should they all be generic components with no "type" field?

Should "Authentication Agent", "Captive Network Assistant", and "Notifications" be considered a "service"?

What are the consequences of having those apps "declared" as desktop applications? 🤔

Sorry that wasn't clear in the original report, the issue is that we want to avoid duplicates and avoid listing apps under the "desktop components" category. However if we exclude application type components that currently also will exclude some things that are miscategorized as apps
