[Bug 1317150] [NEW] When I create .desktop files, they don't get found by Trusty's Dash

[John Rose]

Public bug reported:

Magnifier not found by Trusty's Dash though Manage Launcher (both
variants) are. I've tried creating Magnifier.desktop both with 'Manage
Launcher', 'Manage Launcher (Administrator)' & Arronax.
