Factor out the KDE launcher double-typing workaround, use it more

There's a couple of places where we do menu_launch_type in KDE
without doing this workaround first, and they do run into the
bug sometimes. Let's factor it out from the few places it's
already repeated, and add it to the places it is missing.
