In document

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Penrose Session
Comment=Use this session to run penrose as your desktop environment
Exec=/home/roger/my_penrose_config/target/release/my_penrose_config &> ~/.penrose.log
Icon=
Type=Application
DesktopNames=Penrose

I found it won't work because of this.
