fix: let an update change the Parent Call button

Browse Source 
Two findings, both from watching the bar refuse to change.

The Icon widget copies the desktop entry into the user's home and uses
the copy. A classroom that had already run kept the old icon and the old
command for ever: the package no longer contained a bell and the bar kept
showing one. The button is a task manager holding a single launcher now,
which resolves /usr/share/applications live — the place an OTA update
writes to — and costs nothing, because the classroom already runs one for
the applications.

NoDisplay=true then hid the entry from the very index that resolves
launchers, and the bar drew a blank page. There is no application menu in
this classroom for the entry to clutter, so it is indexable now.
