What is the magic spell to get an application to show up on gnome's menu?

I've gone by an example on the internet and came up with this:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Tomato
Comment=Tomato
Icon=org.gnome.Terminal
Exec=/home/hennebry/bin/tomato.sh
# Terminal=true
Categories=GNOME;GTK;System;TerminalEmulator;

I tried it as ~/.local/share/applications/wtf.desktop  .
It doesn't work as /usr/share/applications/wtf.desktop either.

I do not mean that it craps out.
It just does not show.
Not if I restart gnome.
Not even if I reboot.

It seems to me that I should be able to find it next to Terminal.
I can find Terminal under applications/utiities.
Tomato is not there.

[root@localhost ~]# journalctl -r | grep wtf
[root@localhost ~]# dmesg | grep wtf
[root@localhost ~]#

How do I make it work?
