Public bug reported:

Using Saucy 13.10, when using KDE applications launched from the Dash,
they do no show up as 'Recently used' neither in the Home or
Applications lenses.

Seems zeitgeist or the information presented to it cannot get the path
to the KDE application's *.desktop file.

Using 'konsole' as a KDE application example:

~ $ /usr/libexec/zeitgeist-fts --log-level=DEBUG
** (zeitgeist-fts:28799): DEBUG: zeitgeist-fts.vala:106: got insertion notification
** (zeitgeist-fts:28799): DEBUG: Indexing event with ID: 6382
** (zeitgeist-fts:28799): WARNING **: Unable to get info on application://konsole.desktop

This happens because 'konsole.desktop' resides in
/usr/share/applications/kde4/konsole.desktop

If I symlink or copy 'konsole.desktop' to
/usr/share/applications/konsole.desktop, then everything works as it
should, zeitgeist index's the event correctly and Konsole shows under
'Recently used' for Home and Applications lenses.

** Affects: unity (Ubuntu)
