Public bug reported:

I have a application (Steel Storm: Burning Retribution.desktop) in 
/usr/share/applications that contains  a ":". If that is present, the launcher 
can not start the app nor can it display the description. To reproduce:
$ sudo mv /usr/share/applications/yelp.desktop 
/usr/share/application/yelp:nomore.desktop
and then open the dash and type yelp. You will no longer have a text under the 
icon or will be able to launch it.
