Yes. It's the right field and there's no need to reboot.
What are you trying to change exactly?

Here's an example (you can use vi just as well):
Code:
 $ devel-su
<rootme>
 # nano /usr/share/applications/meego-terminal.desktop
and I changed "Name=Terminal" to "Name=Pääte"

to be able to launch multiple instances of terminal I also changed
"Exec=/usr/bin/meego-terminal" to "Exec=/usr/bin/meego-terminal -n"

Then saved the file.

Let's see if the file is as I as wanted it:
Code:
 # cat /usr/share/applications/meego-terminal.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Pääte
Comment=Terminal Emulator for MeeGo
Icon=icon-l-terminal
Exec=/usr/bin/meego-terminal -n
Type=Application
Categories=Development;
All seems fine. Now meego-terminal is shown as "Pääte" in my applications view and always launches a new terminal on touch.
