Comment:

 I know it is required by Sugar. That's the bug. No other desktop
 environment requires this.

 If it truly doesn't matter, then Sugar can set it to NULL or similar.
 Sugar can pull a name out of /dev/urandom if it likes. Sugar can use the
 time of day. Sugar can use the app's process ID.

 I believe Sugar actually requires an app to use the service name in some
 way, but this isn't documented. No use for the service name is documented.
 I'd consider the lack of documentation to be a severe bug, except that
 there isn't any reason to require a service name at all. Every X desktop
 from twm to GNOME has been able to handle apps without service names,
 including remote apps.
