Just a quick word on why the icon is assigned to deja-dup executable and
not deja-dup-preferences.  Here's my theory.

There are three .desktop files shipped:
1) deja-dup (for deja-dup executable, just so that when it is running, bamf and 
the launcher can match it better and give it appropriate icon)

2) deja-dup-preferences (for deja-dup-preferences executable, only used
in non-GNOME environments -- it asks to be ignored in GNOME and Unity)

3) deja-dup-ccpanel (for gnome-control-center plugin, used in GNOME and
Unity and nowhere else)

So I bet that deja-dup executable rightly has the icon because of #1.
deja-dup-preferences executable does not have the icon because Unity is
ignoring #2 (as it is told to do).  #3 doesn't show up in Alt+F2 because
it's not an executable but a plugin.

Not sure there's really something we want to do here...  It's kind of an
odd case.  Maybe Unity should only partly ignore #2 and still show the
icon?
