I have modified it now to to use DesktopFile.class and pre-load the
existing icon and modify it to preserve any other Actions a use may have

I think i got the hierarchy correct

  "~/.local/share/applications/gambas3.desktop"
"/usr/local/share/applications/gambas3.desktop"
"/usr/share/applications/gambas3.desktop"
It will use what ever one it finds first in that order.
