Hi Gareth,

I have solved it.
The solution: *drumroll* Switch from Ubuntu to Bookworm.

Thanks Brad, Max, Greg, Jeffrey, Tomas and the unnamed Briton.
I have used Bookworm earlier, but the apt policy bit and Max's reply
drove me to return.

Some confusion may still be in order though:

Nikulin's suspicion that a copy of the file is used seems true: changing
non-pinned icons in Ubuntu's panel worked without a reboot, but not
Firefox. I tried looking into the GNOME source (grep-ing into that address)
but in vain.

The desktop-file-validate tool threw no error. Incidentally, the Ubuntu
desktop file had a single hyphen in the sub-entry for private windows
(Bookworm does not have sub-entries), but I've used both single and double
hyphens earlier. But I am using double hyphens now, as Brad warned.

I don't think *I* should raise a bug as Max suggested: unless a significant
number of users is interested, I wouldn't want to, although not having
your data out there is better IMHO. Perhaps some day I'll contribute the
feature myself.

Thanks again,
Pranjal
