Bug Description

Currently it is very hard to find out an appilcation's binary name (e.g. "Startup applications" (= ?), "menu" (= alacarte, a good example for increased difficult because the binary name has nothing in common with the task or the title in the dashboard, research in software center or a search engine is frustrating)). The `Exec` line should at least be provided in the application details opened with right click (if that's still too much information for unexperienced users, provide in in a collapsible "details" panel).
