Whiteboard

We want the launcher to show running and favorite apps.
Fixing it properly would require rewriting it which means among other tasks the following:
1) use qtubuntu's Application class to parse desktop files. It requires adding Application:
2) implement a single model that aggregates main stage and side stage running apps, also displaying favorite apps
