Hello,
That's because the last line in 
/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Cheese
.desktop says that Gnome should launch 
Cheese through the DBus service 
/usr/share/dbus-
1/services/org.gnome.Cheese.service.

In the DBus service file there's an 
execdir variable which is not 
substitued, thus making the Exec path 
/bin/cheese which doesn't exist.

To fix it, replace the variable in the 
.service file by /usr so that the path 
to the binary is correct.

Regards,
Dorian.
