The vncviewer does not have an icon. Looking at the code, it's immediately clear why: The build system installs icons to where it makes sense - /usr/share/icons/hicolor/{size}x{size}/apps/tigervnc.png
but the vncviewer code has this line: sprintf(icon_path, "%s/icons/hicolor/%dx%d/tigervnc.png", Note the discrepancy. diff -ur tigervnc.orig/vncviewer/vncviewer.cxx tigervnc/vncviewer/vncviewer.cxx --- tigervnc.orig/vncviewer/vncviewer.cxx 2012-09-01 17:48:34.938207580 +0200 +++ tigervnc/vncviewer/vncviewer.cxx 2012-09-04 01:05:41.433792558 +0200 @@ -156,7 +156,7 @@ char icon_path[PATH_MAX]; bool exists; - sprintf(icon_path, "%s/icons/hicolor/%dx%d/tigervnc.png", + sprintf(icon_path, "%s/icons/hicolor/%dx%d/apps/tigervnc.png", DATA_DIR, icon_sizes[i], icon_sizes[i]); #ifndef WIN32 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
