When KDE Plasma is bugged, by modifying the `Exec=` in desktop file, this is
the result:

- `systemd-run --user` works ✅
- `kstart` doesn't work ❌
- `kioclient exec` doesn't work ❌

Additionally, by enabling "Run in Terminal", the application also launches
without problem.

Enabling / disabling systemd startup doesn't make a difference (in making
Flatpak applications launch):

When systemd startup is disabled, by stopping plasmashell using `systemctl` and
then starting it using KRunner, Application Launcher can then launch
applications normally.

The point still stands: Moving the launch logic into a centralized component
reduces the runtime variations and thus less debugging effort requirements and
less bugs. Specifically `systemd-run` works even when the other methods doesn't
because of this.
