Button "Show A Launcher When Not Running" does not work i.e. does not
pin a launcher to the bar in "Icon-only task manager". The usual Task
Manager does it well. Writing value plasma-desktop-appletrc value which
points to launchers fixes the problem but "Remove This Launcher" does
not work as well it does not remove the launcher from the bar.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add Widget "Icon-Only Task Manager" to main panel
2. Open any application and application icon appears on the bar
3. Click "Show A Launcher When Not Running" from context menu opened from icon task widget
4. Open context menu again and "Show A Launcher When Not Running" is not checked
5. Close application
Actual Results:  
Launcher is not pinned to the icon task widget, it disappears after application closes

Expected Results:  
Launcher should remains on the icon task widget if "Show A Launcher When Not Running" is selected after application which icon corresponds to closes

"Remove This Launcher" does not work if plasma-desktop-appletrc is
edited manually by adding Items=... into appropriate section

It could have been caused by packages update. Fresh installation was not checked.
Also, 'kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental' command was tried in order to fix .desktop elements but no luck.

Eike, this broke with 3ff3f433e07e78d12e1081e6e571c097216de591 in
libtaskmanager, any ideas how to resolve it (other than a revert)?

Can you specify *what* is broken? Both adding and removing launchers
works just fine here.

Oh, sorry, in the Icons-Only Task Manager ... I guess I'll have to take
a look at that codebase.

Spin the event loop before destroying the menu.

This allows the menu implementation to complete toggling the
launcher before the instance is destroyed. It's extremely un-
fortunate that the library currently requires this careful
handling; see e944d7ae in kde-workspace for a note on what
needs to be cleaned up there.
