Bug still present in Xenial.

Creating symlinks as suggested in comment #2 has the unwanted side
effect of creating duplicate entries for KDE applications in the Search
and Applications lense.

So it would seem the proper fix would instead be for Unity to grab the
path of where the konsole.desktop file resides, and if it is found to be
in /usr/share/applications/kde4, then the desktop filename presented to
zeitgeist should be changed from konsole.desktop to kde4-konsole.desktop

Title:
  Dash + zeitgeist does not log use of KDE applications for 'Recently
  used'

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in zeitgeist package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Using Saucy 13.10 and Trusty 14.04, when using KDE applications
  launched from the Dash, they do not 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.
