Changes in /usr/share/applications/vdr-sxfe.desktop are ignored; they actually have to be made by
sudo nano -w /usr/share/app-install/desktop/xineliboutput-sxfe:vdr-sxfe.desktop
(cf. http://www.vdr-portal.de/board18-vdr-hardware/board13-fernbedienungen/p1072963-doppelte-tastenerkennung-im-vdr/#post1072963)
as the following lines are wrong (first one unless VDR itself is running on another machine; second always):
Exec=vdr-sxfe --lirc
Icon=_usr_share_icons_xineliboutput-sxfe

These should be:
Exec=vdr-sxfe
Icon=/usr/share/icons/xineliboutput-sxfe.svg

Removing --lirc takes effect immediately to make the remote control work properly again,
the icon change is seen after the next reboot (please feel free to add instructions on how to make the Unity Launcher re-read a specific .desktop file at runtime).
