Description PGillespie 2016-01-23 17:57:13 UTC 
Waited as long as I could. Just successfully, more or less, upgraded 15.04 to 15.10. Among other issues, I now notice that krunner has lost its mojo. If I type in an application, it no longer autofills or offers options and even when the complete application name is typed, like Thunderbird or Libreoffice, krunner is a dud.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Invoke Krunner
2. Type Application Name --> Return
3. Nothing.


Expected Results:  
Launch application.
