As far as I understand this is a freedesktop standard: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html The part related with the icons can be found inside: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#key-icon >From there we can follow to the "Icon Theme Specification" http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html That says at some point: 'In order to have a place for third party applications to install their icons there should always exist a theme called "hicolor" ' > > In the case of Fedora this is done manually as I am not aware of general > > rules, but as Jean-Marc demonstrated above my knowledge here is limited > > (with the limit tending to zero). > > Manually installing may be enough for us, but does not look very comfortable > ...
