Starting glslViewer requires passing shader filenames as command line
arguments, otherwise it will exit immediately. Launching glslViewer
via the desktop entry (i.e. from desktop environment menu) can not
pass filenames as arguments, and therefore it fails without any
message to the user.
Hide the unusable application entry from desktop menus. The desktop
entry is still useful for opening associated MIME types from e.g.
file managers.
