📄 Description

Some .desktop files use full path to executable. As result, just running firecfg is not enough to run those apps in firejail using menu or file manager.
With --fix option firecfg will check .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/, replace full path by name if it is in PATH, and write result to $HOME/.local/share/applications/.
