[Bug 39002] Re: Can't rename _SOME_ icons when they are on destkop.

[Gary Coady]

Renaming a file on the desktop seems to add an entry into the .desktop file.
For example,
Name[en_IE]=Gobbledygook

This will take effect if in the correct language.

HOWEVER, it doesn't take effect if X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain is set... you can test by editing a .desktop file in ~/Desktop - removing the line X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain should allow renaming to occur.

Could you check this out, just to make sure I'm on the right track with your problem?
