Yes, for launchers on the panel the full path to the desktop file
is stored. Example of breakage for Emacs:

$ gconftool-2 -R /apps/panel/objects|grep loca|grep emacs
  launcher_location = /usr/share/applications/gnu-emacs.desktop
  launcher_location = /usr/share/applications/emacs.desktop

The first is the old .desktop file name. The upgrade renamed it, broke the
launcher. The old launcher object is still in the db, but invisible in the
panel. I guess it would return if I created a gnu-emacs.desktop file in
the same path.

$ gconftool-2 -R /apps/panel/objects/object_1
 toplevel_id = top_panel
 bonobo_iid = 
 attached_toplevel_id = 
 use_custom_icon = false
 action_type = lock
 tooltip = 
 custom_icon = 
 launcher_location = /usr/share/applications/gnu-emacs.desktop
 use_menu_path = false
 panel_right_stick = false
 object_type = launcher-object
 position = 247
 locked = false
 menu_path = applications:/
