Subject: [PATCH] ui: keep working if pyinotify fails loading

pyinotify has stopped working in python3.12, it fails loading with the
error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'asyncore'

For now, ignore this error and keep working as usual.
Applications icons will be loaded on GUI startup, but we loose the
ability of discovering the icons of applications while the GUI is
running.

Closes: #1132
