Invalid qmlscene invocation -- invalid option -- 'I'

[Martin Pitt]

I tried to run the autopilot tests of notes-app on current image 177, and this utterly failed. I suppose the reason is "qmlscene: invalid option -- 'I' "?

ERROR: notes_app.tests.test_delete.TestDelete.test_slide_to_delete_left(with touch)

I can reproduce this manually on the phone. It seems the CMakeList has a rather bogus command:

$ grep Exec .cache/ubuntu-app-launch/desktop/com.ubuntu.notes_notes_1.4.269.desktop
Exec=qmlscene $@ -I ./usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/qml NotesApp.qml

The -I certainly shouldn't be hardcoded, and other apps just do something like this:

$ grep Exec .cache/ubuntu-app-launch/desktop/com.ubuntu.sudoku_sudoku_1.1.207.desktop
Exec=qmlscene -qt5 ./sudoku-app.qml

Notes app is using older methods for setting up and launching the app. We can migrate this to current best practices; however, I'm not sure notes app is still intending to ship on devices?

I'll propose an MP since it's still running on ci dashboard. . .
