SUMMARY
Apps that appear in the Recent Applications menu does not run their additional options, for example if I right-click the Firefox icon and select Private Window it will not open a private window, but a file url.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run Firefox from the application launcher, making it appear in the Recent Applications category
2. Right-click the Firefox icon from the Recent menu and select Private window
3. Notice how it opens a normal window saying "cannot find file /usr/bin/firefox --private-window" instead of a private window

OBSERVED RESULT
Additional options in .desktop files are not executed when clicked on

EXPECTED RESULT
.desktop files should behave as intended

The component where you wanted to add it is called kicker.

And I can reproduce this behavior, in the other launchers, but I get an error message from KIOExec.

I have wrote a fix for this:

The launcher shown in the screen recording is called Dashboard. :)

Thank you very much for your fix Alex.
