Looking at config.log...
```
datadir='${datarootdir}'
datarootdir='${prefix}/share'
```
So $datadir will change depending on $prefix.

I see that format used in [appdata](https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/2729) files, but I don't see any desktop files with that filename.

The emacs appdata file for example has lines like

```
<component type="desktop-application">
  <id>org.gnu.emacs</id>
 <launchable type="desktop-id">emacs</launchable>
```

and 0 A.D.

```
<component type="desktop-application">
  <id>com.play0ad.zeroad</id>
  <launchable type="desktop-id">0ad.desktop</launchable>
```
