Setting the name of the distro shortcut and the name of the Terminal profile using the new methods in 2.4.4+

Hi,

I'm experimenting with the new custom distro build format and so far it looks great, but I have a few questions I was not able to figure out from the docs:

• Is there a way to set the display name of the distribution? I.e. the text of the automatically installed shortcut in the launcher and also the name of the terminal profile that is installed. I was able to set various properties in the terminal profile but not the name which seems to be overwritten to be the default distro name specified in the /etc/wsl-distribution.conf file (oobe.defaultName). I would like to keep the default name simple while giving a longer descriptive name for the shorcut and the terminal profile.

There is a shortcut.icon property and I would expect a shortcut.name or something similar, but none of my guesses are working and the documentation also speaks only about the icon.

• I have a distro that has multiple graphical tools inside the container and would love to install multiple shortcuts for each tool so they could be launched from the windows launcher. So far I found no straightforward solution.

If anyone can give a tip or hit I would really appreciate.
