[SOLVED] Telegram Desktop & .desktop entry with Whisker menu

I have a highly specific problem with the telegram-desktop package.

Even though the .desktop file gets installed to /usr/share/applications, and menulibre seems to be able to find it, it does not show up with XFCE's Whisker menu.

I'm wondering if other people have the same problem as well, maybe with other menu applications that read .desktop files.

Had the same problem the other day. I don't know how that happened but there was also an entry in ~/.local/share/applications.
By removing that entry, the problem was solved, in my case.

Hope it helps.
