Title:
  ython launcher icons are hardcoded

Status in python-defaults package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The python icon path in each of the respective launchers for the 2.x
  and 3.x series seem to be hardcoded to an absolute path rather than
  designating the relative /usr/share/icons/... directory on the 'Icon='
  line within the desktop launcher file located within
  usr/share/applications/

  Arguments:

  Trivial bug yet very important to prevent inexperienced user root
  access and modification of system files

  Needed to prevent system-wide icon theme 'breakage' from non standard
  'Icon=' path that should normally refer to /usr/share/icons/ when
  using third party themes (ex: Faenza, Numix, etc.)

  ---

  Before:

  Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/python2.7.xpm

  Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/python3.3.xpm

  Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/python3.4.xpm

  After:

  Icon=python
