So, here is the question. If I understand correctly, the OpenShot icon should go in the ~/.icons folder. In a deb, how do I add files to the home directory? Would it have to be in the postinst file? I guess an alternative is to use the "/usr/share/pixmaps" folder, which should be easy to add to the deb. All of the icons I set in gtk are relative to the path of my program, and therefore won't use the icon installed in the system.
It seems like the only thing that needs the system icon is the .desktop file, right? I did a simple test with your modified .desktop file and dropped the openshot_logo.png in the ~/.icons/ folder, and it seemed to work fine.
