Ummm... yes, I agree, but no. Yes - the file is being stored somewhere (I
can't motivate myself enough to look), but it wasn't in
~/.local/share/applications before I locked it to the launcher; no - the
fact that there was no obvious way to edit this file so that the
application was actually being launched was a cause of an unnecessary
complication to my life.

If my two cents is worth anything, I think there should be a menu option
available upon right-clicking the launcher icon that allows the user to
edit this file. There is no sunshine when an application available on the
launcher cannot be launched.
