How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a "link to application" on the desktop

Thank you for the detailed "Steps to Reproduce".
All I can add is that it *does* work on Mageia 7!

This issue should be reported upstream and perhaps it is already reported by another distro.

As reported here https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421374 and fixed upstream, please test next kio-5.70.1-2.mga8 update!
Comment 4 Barry Jackson 2020-05-27 22:27:42 CEST
It's now finding the konsole as in the simple example where I used ls, but now not ssh in this case:

Could not find the program 'ssh -l baz zmhost tail -f cronsync_last.log'

Using full path to ssh makes no difference:

Could not find the program '/usr/bin/ssh -l baz zmhost tail -f cronsync_last.log'

Ah!!

However, removing the quotes around the command fixes it. They were the fix a few years ago when the plain command stopped working, so I guess the original bug has now been fixed which has broken the workaround.

So - yes closing as fixed. :)

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
