I may add a "Show in Deskbar" option to the menu.
I could add it as a simple checkbox though,
like in the Media prefs.

None taken! :)

It could easily result in a worse user experience too.
What you see now is the last part of the internal name.
It's uniform, and it will stay uniform unless someone goes
and adds a mixed-case, or upper-case URL type.
I'd wager that the mime's ShortDescriptions have
a lesser chance at staying uniform.

Yeah, I should show the mimetype's long description,
(none of the standard ones have descriptions yet though)
and perhaps the short one too.
