--- Comment #2 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
Can reproduce. The issue here is that anything that removes apps (distro
package manager, Discover, some other random PackageKit implementation) doesn't
necessarily know about the existence of custom desktop files here. Teaching all
of them is probably infeasible, though I guess we would probably make Discover
do it. But that wouldn't result in full coverage.

Another option is to have ksycoca scan desktop files for executables that don't
exist, and either delete them, or suppress displaying them in the UI by adding
NoDisplay=True to them.
