> When I look at examples for creating .desktop files, it's recommended to use the full path to the binary. 

Best source for info is [the spec](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#exec-variables):

>> The executable program can either be specified with its full path or with the name of the executable only. If no full path is provided the executable is looked up in the $PATH environment variable used by the desktop environment.
