I think there's a bug about this too (or at least for appdata). My
question is: does it really make sense to have appdata for CMake's GUI?
It isn't an "end user" application and I feel that developers "know"
about CMake's Qt UI (or at least wouldn't look for it in the application
tool thing).

(I'm not against AppData overall; just wondering whether it makes sense
for development tools such as cmake-gui.)

Others' thoughts?
