More on the link submitted and on this: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18498 (duplicate)

Reproducible: Always

2. right click the *.desktop file and edit it: in the right ab change the field Name or program, press OK
  ==> you get a popup saying you do not have permissions to write that file to a path it tells.   Well that path it tries is weird:
~/.local/share/applications/rt/

A popup with an error saying I don't have permission on ~/.local/share/applications/rt/
