    Remove "Show KRunner" item from desktop context menu · 1cb25441

    In the past, this was considered to be a way to make KRunner more
    discoverable by users.
    
    However today Kickoff exposes all the same runners as KRunner, so its
    full functionality is therefore more discoverable in a different way,
    so making the KRunner UI itelf more discoverable is not as important.
    
    Furthermore, this was always a questionable way to increase
    discoverability in the first place, because the menu item did not expose
    the keyboard shortcut, which is the typical way that people show
    KRunner. Also, context menus are generally considered shortcuts for
    experts; novice users don't tend to use context menus very much. But
    experts are the people more likely to already know about KRunner and its
    keyboard shortcut, and would never invoke it using the desktop context
    menu.
    
    Removing this menu item de-clutters the desktop context menu a bit, and
    we do get complaints that the menu is overwhelming because it has too
    many things in it. This is a fairly unimportant item that we can remove
    without any real consequences.
    
    Finally, Marco didn't like the change to refer to KRunner using the
    actual term "KRunner" in the main UI, so this change removes one of the
    two places where that happened. :)
