Let's assume the shortcut file you get is `/home/user/Desktop/chrome-bikioccmkafdpakkkcpdbhpfkkhcmohk-Default.desktop`
2. Copy this shortcut file to the AppVM's TemplateVM - in this case, to `fedora-23`.
[user@Signal ~]$ qvm-copy-to-vm fedora-23 /home/user/Desktop/chrome-bikioccmkafdpakkkcpdbhpfkkhcmohk-Default.desktop

7. Then follow the `Q` menu once more, right-click on the new `Signal: Signal Private Messenger` menu item and select `Add to Panel`.
6. Stop both the AppVM (`Signal`) and its TemplateVM (`fedora-23`).
The `Signal` VM will now see the desktop file in `/usr/share/applications` when it is next started.
You can now launch the Signal messenger inside its own dedicated AppVM with a single click from KDE's panel.
