I am attempting to edit a desktop shortcut on Ubuntu 18.04. I changed my copy of the shortcut in .local/share/applications to change the name of the shortcut. I then rebooted Ubuntu but the old copy of the shortcut with the old name was still displayed in the desktop dock. What do I have to do to get the new copy used? I have no problems creating a new shortcut, only in editing an existing one.

It turns out that you have to rename the desktop file in .local/share/applications to change the name of the icon in the desktop toolbar where the displayed name is shown.
