Some of my .desktop launchers aren't working. When I try to execute it from the main menu nothing happens. When I try to launch it from a terminal I get the following:

File permissions:
I have not edited the file since I installed the package. It was working 2 days ago. Not sure what caused the change. Most of my other launchers work fine.
I am on Linux Mint 15 64-bit: --- Edit ---

--- Edit ---

--- Solved ---
Right-clicked on main menu button and selected "Edit menu". Then I hit "Restore System Configuration". Now it's working.
