Whisker menu doesn't always take into account "Edit Application..."

Hi, thanks for the amazing job !

With a right click on an application in the whisker-menu (xfce 4-12), you can "Edit Application...".

Although it mostly works, it is not always the case (As you can see on the screenshoot I joined).

I tested on a brand new version (Xubuntu 18.04, 64 bits), and elements such as the game "Mines" don't take the changes from "Edit Application..." into account (to translate it in French as it was in English).

I noticed that it is the same for Simple Scan. And also for "Eye of Gnome" and "Inkscape", I installed later. But not for everything...

No idea where it comes from, but with Menu Editor (Alacarte), we can "Edit Application..." and it finally works.

Description: Xubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Release: 18.04
xfce 4-12

I filed it in xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin originaly and Graeme Gott said to try here ;)

He said "You could try running the panel in debug mode by opening a terminal and running the following commands:"

xfce4-panel -q
PANEL_DEBUG=1 xfce4-panel

but nothing is shown when I try "Edit Application..." for the ones (Simple Scan, Eye of Gnome and Inkscape at least) where it doesn't work.

My computer is set up in French if it is to be taken into account.

It appears to work in English, so it's entirely possible there's some bad locale handling. Thanks for the bug report, we'll look into this.
