Icons missing in app tray; user-level desktop files not overriding system-level in app library

[YamiYukiSenpai]

Cosmic-applets version:

0.1.0~1726494023~24.04~0a32d27

Specific applet that this is regarding (if applicable):

• App Tray (icons task manager)
• App Library

Issue/Bug description: Missing icons on the app tray for my Firefox (Snap) & Rhythmbox (repo).

Strangely, my Firefox Nightly (snap) is fine.

Though I believe its because there's a user-level desktop file.

Unsure how my Rhythmbox was affected.

Steps to reproduce: Unsure about missing icons. thought it was just my Firefox (Snap), but Rhythmbox was also affected. Could be hit or miss.

As for user-level desktop icons not overriding system-level, just edit an icon in menulibre, or some .desktop editor.

Expected behavior: Icons should be showing up. User-level desktop files and system-level desktop files shouldn't be duplicating.

menulibre doesn't work with Cosmic as of right now. This was most likely generated when my laptop was still on Kubuntu 23.10 as I'm re-using the profile.

Hi! The issue where user desktop files aren't overriding system files for the app library is better suited for this repository. You can open an issue there and tag me because I recently worked on a similar fix for the launcher so I may be able to fix this one too.

(I may forget so you can tag me).
