This issue doesn't just effect the favorites menu entries, it effects 
all of the KDE4 entries. The path was changed to 
"/usr/lib/kde4/bin/nameofexec" instead of programname-kde4. New 
installations won't have this problem, but those upgrading may still 
have "programname-kde4" in the menu entries.

I changed them all manually, however not everyone knows how to do that, 
and changing the executable commands and having it break several peoples 
menus was a stupid idea. Was it even tested?

I like how this was marked "Invalid". These types of bugs are serious.
