Public bug reported: Ubuntu 16.10 x64
1. * Install kaffeine (sudo apt install kaffeine) * Search for kaffeine in the dash (Alt+F2 then type 'k', 'a', 'f'...) Actual result: kaffeine displayed icon is a generic icon, not the icon it is supposed to use. Expected result: the icon which path is: '/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/kaffeine.svg' is displayed instead 2. * Launch kaffeine * Look at kaffeine icon that appeared in the launcher Actual result: the displayed icon is a nautilus directory icon Expected result: the icon which path is: '/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/kaffeine.svg' is displayed instead I rebooted the computer, thinking that a cache update was missing. I also reinstalled kaffeine with apt install --reinstall The symptoms remain in both cases. It appears that installed applications usually provide png icons, located in '/usr/share/icons/hicolor/WxH/apps' (where WxH is the size of the image). But in the case of kaffeine, it only provides a svg icon. >From what I've been reading, that situation should be supported. In fact, if I change kaffeine .desktop file to make the icon path absolute, it works: Open a text editor as root and open the desktop file: /usr/share/applications/org.kde.kaffeine.desktop Find that line: Icon=kaffeine Change it to: Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/kaffeine.svg It seems that just a small thing is missing in Ubuntu to provide full svg icon support.
