           Summary: KDEInit could not launch '<*>' - Could not open
                    library 'usr/lib/libkdeinit5_<*>' - 'No such file'.
                    Blender in this case.
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 5.5.4
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
          Reporter: vindica...@live.com
                CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org

*****(opening blender.desktop via Application Launcher)
KDEInint could not launch 'blender':
Could not open library '/usr/lib/libkdeinit5_blender'.
Cannot load library /usr/lib/libkdeinit5_blender:
(/usr/lib/libkdeinit5_blender.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory)
*****

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Blender tarball https://www.blender.org/download/
2. Extract tarball in Downloads directory
3. cp ~/Downloads/<extracted blender path>/blender.desktop
~/.local/share/applications
4. Launch via:
  4a. Launch Blender from Application Launcher
or
  4b. Launch blender from CLI: $ ~/Downloads/<extracted blender path>/blender

Actual Results:  
4a: Fails with the error listed under description.
4b: Succeeds with loading Blender.

Expected Results:  
4a: SHOULD succeed with loading Blender.

It seems that KDE expects any ".desktop" program in the Application Launcher to
have an associated KDE init lib file.
That is the reason why I titled this bug the way I did.
I had seen other bug instances similar to this (with the error message) and the
odd thing with them is they looked like they were already KDE programs (k* like
konsole, kwrite).
