Well, there is a newer one in -updates.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons
Worth installing, but I doubt it will make a difference for you. (If you
end up filing a bug, you should indeed have the the version from
-updates installed.)
Can you please replicate this on your side and, e.g. create a sym
link on your desktop, change the icon in the property and confirm
that is also changes the desktop view?
I tried with a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications and figured out
a limitation: Your user needs to be the owner of the .desktop file for a
symlink to work. In my test case:
sudo chown gunnar: /usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop
Then a symlink worked fine after I had right clicked and choosen "Allow
Launching".
A changed icon was reflected on the Desktop after having relogged in.
If I wanted to report this behavior as a bug - what is the minimal
information / process required?
Not sure in this case.. A summary of this email thread would probably be
a good start. And the package candidate is obvious:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons
There you see a list of open bugs, but I don't think any of them covers
the "doesn't work at all" case. ;)
