Fix some .desktop files getting deleted

December 14, 2023 — BarryK

I updated one of the EasyOS installations, and Firefox disappeared from the menu. The /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop file had reverted to containing "NoDisplay=true".

There are other possible situations where a .desktop file might get inappropriately deleted.

I have studied the code and made improvements. See commit:

...which seems like it will improve the situation.
