I tried modifying permissions and also sudo chattr but it prevents the app from launching: ``` ERROR main Toolbox_servicesKt Failed to perform startup tasks: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/user/. local/share/applications/jetbrains-toolbox.desktop (Operation not permitted) at ... ``` So it seems to run the desktop file generation on each launch and overwrites certain fields. The workaround to create a separate desktop file works and I've added NoDisplay=true to the generated desktop files to prevent duplicate application entries in menus.

You were right. The easiest and fastest way was to make a jetbrains-toolbox-fixed.desktop, add my double quotes back in, and it works fine. I haven't tried chmod 555 or similar yet, but good call anyway. Thanks!
