Subject: [PATCH] apps-menu: Handle .desktop files from non-standard
 directories

.desktop files in non-standard locations are not handled by GIO,
so looking up apps for entries for such locations (e.g. a
directory added via the AppsDir directive) will fail. We can
still handle this case in the menu by creating the app directly
from the entry's AppInfo.
