Git commit b9067af4f3da58e073434a607c66b9c2eeefd200 by Nate Graham. Committed on 23/02/2025 at 15:06. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. applets/kickoff: don't unnecessarily look for icon name as local file `Image{}` wants a file, not an icon name. When given one anyway, it interprets the string as a local file, looks for it in the current working dir, fails to find it, and then complains. We know this will fail, so let's short-circuit the process by only letting it look for strings that are clearly file paths.
