I have the following desktop entry file: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=Application Name=SHOUTcast Radio Icon=gnome-radio TryExec=/home/mike/devel/tests/shoutcast-widget/shoutcast-radio Exec=/home/mike/devel/tests/shoutcast-widget/shoutcast-radio Terminal=false Categories=Audio;Player; and the problem is since I renamed the directory devel to Développement the item still appears in the menu. I guess it misses a check on TryExec.
