That line is not really so mysterious. It's quite common for an
application made for, say GNOME, to have OnlyShowIn=GNOME if there is a
similar application in other desktop environments.

In this case it's probably just a leftover from the defaults in Ubuntu,
in a package that seems to be badly in need of some love from the
maintainer.
