don't know the exact procedures. i use gnome and faced similar problems
when trying to change properties of menu items. the solution i found out
was to login as root and edit the corresponding .desktop file in
/usr/share/applications. did the trick for me as far as menus went. i 
think a
similar approach should work for desktop icons, too... reply back with what
you met with.
