Hi,

A few months ago a discussion happened about changing display logo for Gnome
depending on os-release file [1].

However spec [2] doesn't cover DEs wanting to add items to it, just OSes, which will still not be great, if support would have to be extended to SUSE_LOGO,
DEBIAN_LOGO, UBUNTU_LOGO etc.

KDE does this by having that stuff specified in /etc/xdg/kcm-about-distrorc [3], which is not great, because again, it's kind of info that easily could be in os-release for every DE and app that might need it. Both DEs require information about logo location, would be nice to provide it once, for all that might require
it in the future.

Suggestion I would give about it would be to allow for either full path or a
name to be used with xdg-icon standard.
