Dear Maintainer,

  it looks like Launchy has problems to launch complex commands from desktop 
files. Namely, I have experience these problems:

1) Having a desktop file with Exec definition pointing to home directory using 
tilda - e.g. Exec=~/bin/script_name, Launchy is unable to launch the command 
(simply hitting Enter on the found item from the list does not trigger any 
action). PS: typing ~/bin/script_name directly in the Launchy window, the 
script is started. So the problem really seems to be only when combined with a 
desktop file.

2) If Exec in a desktop file contains sequence of commands separated by 
semicolon, Launchy only runs the first command. Although I have to admit I am 
not sure whether such an Exec is not against desktop file specifications, it 
looks like other launchers treat this correctly.

Thanks,
Pavel
