Looks like you updated KDE. The .desktop file format changed with the newer
version. It works as root because when you did the KDE update, as root, it
updated root's config files. But, it didn't change/update the config files of
the users. If I remember correctly, there is a command that you need to
execute after the KDE upgrade that does this for you. Otherwise, you must
recreate the users' shortcuts for them to be in the new file format.
I'm sure the KDE post upgrade command is in the documentation but, I do not
know where at the moment.
