Previously reported as 765069 and duplicates, which was reassigned to nautilus because this icon and its location hasn't changed in at least 4 years. You've provided some new information below, so I'll hold off on moving bugs around until we've talked about that. > I believe that the problem lies in the fact that you ship a .desktop > file vim "Icon=vim" but you don't ship any icon for that in the > standardized place: > /usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/vim.png > /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/vim.svg What isn't standardized about /usr/share/pixmaps/vim.svg? I wouldn't have thought to install the file to /usr/share/icons/hicolor because "hicolor" doesn't read as "default" to me. Now that you've brought it up, apparently that is the case according to /u/s/d/hicolor-icon-theme/README. In order to keep compatibility with applications that don't grok /usr/share/icons, I suppose I should keep the existing files in /usr/share/pixmaps and then also place them in the relevant /usr/share/icons/hicolor subdirectories. Does that sound good? If so, I'll leave this bug here as well as the ones that are currently assigned to nautilus since it should still handle an svg in /usr/share/pixmaps better than it currently does.
