From SystemUI? That doesn't sound correct. The D-Bus way to launch a service given its name is the StartServiceByName method. Obviously, this being an upstream method, this is free from the X-Osso-Service Nokia stuff; hell, that method only looks at the *.service files, not the desktop files. Unless SystemUI uses Hildon Desktop's LaunchApplication method - which I'm sure it doesn't (actually I'm certain it doesn't - my N800 can also launch services through SystemUI and the Hildon Desktop on the N800 doesn't support the LaunchApplication method) - then it shouldn't look at desktop files

EDIT: Although I don't have an N900 anymore, I did have success running applications without having a terminal window showing
