Title:
  On the fake application autopilot fixture, raise an exception if the
  desktop file is missing required fields

Status in Ubuntu UI Toolkit:
  Confirmed
Status in “ubuntu-ui-toolkit” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On this branch we are adding a fixture to create a fake application:
  https://code.launchpad.net/~elopio/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/fake_app_fixture/+merge/205916

  When we create a desktop file, it's a common mistake to miss one of
  the required fields. And because of bug #1204595, the shell just fails
  silently to launch the application.

  They will improve the code, but it would be nice for us to also catch
  an error while trying to create a faulty desktop file.

  <greyback> elopio: required entries are Name, Comment, Icon, Exec,
  Path, StageHint, others are optional
