Describe the bug
In vicinae apps list can be items which cannot be run, when Exec is not in path, for example, which leads to 'Failed to run' (something like this) without clear explanation. I think they should be hidden for such cases
To Reproduce
Update any .desktop file to have non-existing exec, and try to run it
Expected behavior
No such item with broken exec in list
