You don't need to do either of those.  Gnome automatically detects changes. The most likely issue is that the .sh file either doesn't exist or isn't executable.  That desktop file works for me with an adjusted Exec line.  I don't have Application menus, so I don't know where it would show up in that case.

his version of /usr/share/applications/wtf.desktop
passes desktop-file-validate without even a warning:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
# Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Tomato
Comment=Not an orange
Icon=org.gnome.Terminal
Exec=/home/hennebry/bin/alarm.sh
# Terminal=true
Categories=Utility;

/home/hennebry/bin/alarm.sh
is executable.

Where in the menuing system did your version show up?

As I mentioned earlier, I don't use the menus. They aren't on by default and I don't find them useful. The application does show up in the overview. I did enable the menu extension and I can't figure out how to get it to show up in there. However, if you install "menulibre", you can put whatever you want in any menu you want.
