The file contents of the fedora desktop launcher is here: /home/tobiasb/.local/share/applications/git gui.desktop

It differs
- in the program name. "Git GUI" instead of "Git Gui".
- It leaves out the "portable" in the description ;-).
- I has no option to be launched from a location in file browser (open
with...)
I will adopt mine to match their file as good as possible.
