            Bug ID: 417990
           Summary: Widgets that launch .desktop apps now open them in a
                    text editor
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: david.cortes.rivera at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

After updating to plasma 5.17.5, when I click widgets (plasmoids?) that execute
some .desktop file, now instead of executing the command it points to, it opens
the actual .desktop file in a text editor.

Example with this widget:
https://store.kde.org/p/998908/
https://github.com/kotelnik/plasma-applet-resources-monitor

In plasma <= 5.14, if I put that widget somewhere (e.g. in the taskbar) and
click it, it would launch ksysguard, but now it just opens the .desktop file in
my default text editor.

Steps to reproduce:
* Have some widget that would launch a .desktop file when clicked.
* Click said widget.

Expected behavior: should launch the application from the .desktop file.

Actual behavior: opens the .desktop file in a text editor.
