[KDE] Minecraft application shortcut doesn't work

Hello,

I noticed that my minecraft-launcher desktop shortcut doesn't launch when I launch it from the KDE application menu.

It shows up as this and then it closes.

Starting the shortcut using gtk launch ($ gtk-launch minecraft-launcher.desktop) works fine as well as starting the launcher immediately ($ minecraft-launcher)

The minecraft-launcher.desktop file (which is placed in ~/.local/share/applications/)

[Desktop Entry]
Categories=Game;Application;
Comment[en_NL]=Official Minecraft Launcher
Comment=Official Minecraft Launcher
Exec=/usr/bin/minecraft-launcher
GenericName[en_NL]=Minecraft Launcher
GenericName=Minecraft Launcher
Icon=minecraft-launcher
MimeType=
Name[en_NL]=Minecraft Launcher
Name=Minecraft Launcher
Path=
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
Version=1.0
X-DBUS-ServiceName=
X-DBUS-StartupType=
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=

This means that it's a KDE bug, a friend of mine experienced it as well but he never bothered fixing it. I can't find a solution for it, perhaps someone here knows how to fix this.
