Package: idle Version: 3.6.5-3 Priority: minor The desktop file does not display the desired icon and clicking on the script shortcut starts only IDLE itself.
The reason is a broken link to the icon and an incorrect argument format in the desktop file. To fix "idle.desktop" needs to replace "idle3.xml" -> "idle.xml" and "idle %U" -> "idle %F". I am using Debian GNU/Linux 9.4, kernel 4.16.0-1-686-pae and libc6 2.27-3. --
