Does the Home Lens use the presence of .desktop files to show
applications? If so which folders does it search? I notice that it
does not find .desktop files on the Desktop. Should it?

As far as I know: yes, /usr/share/applications, no. The .desktop file will
have to be written like an existing .desktop file, owned by root:root,
readable and writable by the owner, readable by the group, readable by
others and not executable.
Should it not also at least look in ~/.local/share/applications?
Arguably also in ~/Desktop.
Colin
It does search applications in ~/.local/share/applications. I don't,
however, think it should search ~/Desktop. We should encourage the use
of well-known locations for such things. Everything becomes much more
difficult when you can't rely on locations. Homeless dotfiles too,
annoys me to no end.
