Your right, its a mystery on what is a "nice" way to do this. I usually edit an existing entry and save it under a new name. If you change an entry, you need to delete the original and copy the changed entry to the directory before the changes are noted (or exit/relogin gnome!). You can set the "terminal" entry to true to see messages for apps that give trouble. Note also that giving the full path to the app seems to work in some cases where the app name only does not.
