Specifying the extension in the .desktop file is technically against the
spec. Efreet allows it as it seems to be done by quite a few people but
Efreet will just strip the extension before doing the lookup. E is
adding the .edj extension to the Efreet list which prepends so it should
be checking .edj before .png or .xpm files.
.local/share/icons should be picked up before any of the other search
paths (which depend on your XDG settings).
