Fix it, then Ship it!




Looks OK to me.
Please ensure it still compiles+works on Linux, and push it after July 4 (so that it doesn't break KF 5.24 at the last minute).

    This is usually done at the top, just under the #ifndef. I never saw it done at the bottom, ever.

This patch (originally by MacPorts developers Jeremy Lainé and Jeremy Lavergne) rearranges call order and uses a proxy application to do the actual exec.

With this patch, starting `kded5` will launch kdeinit5 and klauncher5 as expected, but `kdeinit5 --kded` does not yet launch `kded5`. This is probably acceptable for typical KF5 use on OS X (kded5 can be launched as a login item or as a LaunchAgent) but I will have another look at why the kded isn't started.

Thus, klauncher will not be able to "turn itself into" an application that does have a full GUI presence with my current modification. I don't know if that's supposed to be possible though.
