Description Fabian Vogt 2020-05-12 11:34:29 UTC

Launching .desktop files causes the command to be executed with the path to the .desktop file itself appended.

To reproduce:

1. Navigate to "Kate" in the launcher, add it to the Desktop
2. Click on the new "Kate" icon on the desktop
3. Kate opens the .desktop file it was started from

This breaks starting most applications, as they don't deal well with a stray argument.
