<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">When a binary is launched via an absolute path, then launcherUrl is not
empty because of [1], even though it is not a .desktop file.
Consequently, when a user right-clicks on the task item, plasmashell
attempts to parse the executable as a .desktop configuration file.
Since this file is obviously not a .desktop file, parsing it as such
will fail, and KConfig floods ~/.xsession-errors with lots of errors.
This can quickly add hundreds of megabytes per right-click...
This patch resolves the problem by not constructing a KDesktopFile if
the launcherUrl is not a .desktop file.
An alternative (and more general) way to get rid of the symptoms is to
modify KDesktopFile / KConfig to stop parsing on the first error and
write the launcherUrl to the error log (or at the very least limit the
number of displayed errors). However, it can be argued that you should
not pass a non-.desktop file to KDesktopFile.
