Fixing shortcuts
----------------

First, try this in dom0:

```
$ qvm-appmenus --update --force <vm_name>
```

If that doesn't work, you can manually modify the files in `~/.local/share/applications/`.

For example, suppose you've deleted `my-old-vm`, but it has a leftover Application Menu shortcut. In dom0:

```
$ rm -i ~/.local/share/applications/my-old-vm-*
```
