Console output after launching plasmashell
SUMMARY
The application launcher (either Kickoff or alternative plasmoids like Simple
Menu) is constantly being updated and it cannot be used properly.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the application launcher
2. Go to the "Applications" section
OBSERVED RESULT
The application menu keeps getting refreshed showing the message "Applications
updated." (Kickoff) or just being reloaded every second (Simple Menu, Kicker).
EXPECTED RESULT
The application menu should not be updating so repeatedly.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
* "plasmashell" always shows a high CPU usage (around 10% reported in
KSysGuard).
* I've had this problem before, but, at least in such previous cases, it had
always been a configuration issue (frequently a bad *.desktop file), solved by
deleting, fixing the proper file or simply removing all the *rc files (or
creating a new user). I've tried all of these possible solutions to no avail.
* The same thing happens on the "Add Widgets..." dialog.
* This problem is present in two of my computers.
* It's apparently happening to the complete plasmashell, as the desktop hangs
every few seconds (for instance, the progress bar that represents the timeout
in the notifications keeps hanged as well).
