The icon example was a bad one. If you use the KFM/Konqueror property dialog
to edit an application file (any file under share/applnk), you can edit only
a subset of the possible entries. For example, you cannot edit entries such
as DocPath, Terminal, and so on.
I guess that you have the same limitation for other types of desktop files.
The KFM/Konq property dialog shows only the intersection of possible entries
for all types.

We should use property dialogs that extend the konqueror dialog. Is anybody
working on this?

PS: kmenuedit has a property editor for application files, but kmenuedit is
deprecated and, anyway, we need something that can be shared between 
--at least-- kpanel and konqueror.
