Both.

The design whould allow editing of the properties in the interface that
assigned them in the first place. Thankfully the desktop object is generated
from a text file. So selecting "Edit" should open the file in your editor.

To change the startup directory, set the exec command like so:

  cd somedirectory ; runprogram
