It does, but it's also one of the things Tom complained about and I
think he is right in that at least values for launcher should be
filtered out there as there is not much meaning in what is shown for
launcher. The ugly part is that we can't tell it's launcher in any other
way than comparing bgw_library_name and bgw_function_name to specific
values.
