Show link emblem for all launchers
Even though they are not strictly speaking symbolic links, launchers are conceptually also a kind of link: a link to the app itself. Showing the link emblem on app launchers offers several advantages:
- Helps to visually explain what these launchers in file form actually are.
- Reduces the ability of executable desktop files to masquerade as something else.
- Reduces visual inconsistency between .desktop files for launchers that are in fact symbolic links and launchers that are not. This distinction is generally not useful to the user.
Potential disadvantage: more visual noise on launcher icons on the desktop and in Dolphin.
