Deskbar-applet throws exception if history item selected is no longer found

[Jyrki Pulliainen]

Selecting an item from history that has already been removed causes the deskbar applet to throw following error:

A Programming error has been detected

Details section:

GError: Failed to execute child process "eclipse" (No such file or directory)

This can occure when reinstalling system and recovering home directory from backups or when removing software.

Thanks for your bug report.

Somebody of the team should forward this upstream.
