SUMMARY
I have compiled vkQuake and would like to add it to the applications launcher.
I have added a new entry with the KDE Menu Editor, with Command field set to
"/media/langley/Constellation/vkQuake/Quake/vkquake". However when trying to
open it in the menu, it just opens a tab in the panel bar that disappears
immediately again; vkQuake doesn't launch.

vkQuake launches fine from terminal or Dolphin.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Compile vkQuake as per their instructions
2. Add it to the KDE Menu Editor
3. Try to open it from menu; it doesn't open

OBSERVED RESULT
Doesn't open

EXPECTED RESULT
Program opens

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon 5.16
KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.59.0
Qt Version: 5.12.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Have also tried adding this file:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/vkquake/vkquake.desktop?expand=1
to ~/.local/share/applications/, it doesn't even show up in the menu (even
after running kbuildsycoca5 or rebooting)
