Collapsed mode "error state" caused by failing to execute child process sticky across new search

xfce4-appfinder 4.14.0 (Xfce 4.14)

When in collapse mode, I can get the finder into an error state by typing something that I know is not the name of a program, and hitting enter.

When I type a new search, and I get positive feedback through the appearance of an icon -- I still see child process execution error from the previous search.

This error indicator should be cleared when the search changes. As it is now, it clears when enter is pressed.

In expanded mode, this is a non-issue because hitting enter only can "run" selected search results, and there are no search results if I enter something that does not exist. Please see #28 for ideas on making the behavior between collapsed and expanded mode consistent.

Additionally - it would be nice to show an error text beneath the search instead of forcing users to mouse-over a small icon.
