I'm copying a launcher from the applications menu to my panel through the "Add to Panel" dialog.

This launcher triggers a script that updates the icon of the `.desktop` entry stored in my home directory for this launcher.

Expected behaviour:
The icon in the panel should update automatically, like the icon inside the applications menu does.

Actual behaviour:
Even though the icon inside the applications menu updates, the icon in the panel does not.

I've confirmed that I don't have any matching files stored in `~/.config/mate/panel2.d/default/launchers/`.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Copy an application launcher into the top panel by right-clicking on the panel, selecting "Add to Panel", and then selecting the relevant launcher.
2. Update the icon in the `.desktop` file for the launcher you've just added by using `desktop-file-install` to copy in an updated version of the file.
3. Observe that the icon has changed in the applications menu.
4. Observe that the icon does not change on the panel.

I supposedly can't provide an upstream bug report URL until after creating this, because upstream demands a downstream bug report first:
