The real reason is not that the icon is in .tiff format, but because it is not in standard icon dirs. Most (all?) freedesktop-compliant environments and WMs are capable of displaying TIFF images, so having the icon in .tiff format is probably OK for every environment relying on .desktop files. Changing -Icon=TalkSoup.tiff +Icon=/usr/lib/GNUstep/Applications/TalkSoup.app/Resources/TalkSoup.tiff and running update-desktop-database immediately makes the icon visible for me in the GNOME menu, at least on gNewSense DeltaH. (The approach I've been using for some time in GNUstep apps is to convert the .tiff app icon to .xpm (for the Debian menu where XPM is a must) and reuse the same in the .desktop file. This results in lower image quality, of course, but it works everywhere.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
