See here: http://ctrlv.in/851402

Above Telegram and below Skype are respectively the Color KCM and the Autostart KCM. This happens because they are not Type=Application but Service and they have a Exec=...

I found out that in recentusagemodel.cpp, in function 

`QVariant RecentUsageModel::appData(const QString &resource, int role) const`

commenting 

    if (!service || !service->isApplication()) {
        return QVariant();
    }

solved the issue.

Reproducible: Always

As per Desktop Entry Specification [1] the "Exec" key is only allowed for "Type=Application". This is an application bug imho and they should  be completely filtered out, not just shown as empty entry.
