Bug Description

Binary package hint: deskbar-applet

What Happens:
  I use deskbar to start terminals frequently using the following:
  * (press key combo to open deskbap)
  * type 'term'
  * press 'enter'

  If I wait before pressing enter, say 3-5 seconds, then I always get "launch terminal" or "history: launch terminal" item.
  If I type this very quickly, sometimes the history and launch sections aren't finished being displayed and it does something different, such as 'search web' or something equally stupid.

What I expect:
  If I type the above, I should ALWAYS get history or launch, since they are the first two items in my preferences.

Notes:
  I think that deskbar accepts the 'enter' before finishing querying all the sources. I think that if it has an answer from a source, it needs to wait for all the higher priority sources to finish before processing the 'enter'.

GUI-wise, I think it is okay to close the window after enter, but it still needs to wait for the higher priority sources.

Ciao!
