Public bug reported:
Directory files have been shipped with incorrect Icon= fields. For
example, ActionGames.directory contains Icon=weather-storm.
This should instead read Icons=applications-action (1) which is included
in many icon sets (2), leaving this kind of substitution to the theme
author using symlinks. Including references to these substitutions
directly in the .directory files is an inappropriate and unecessary
kludge which breaks themes, including the default one.
I've only checked the Games .directory files so far, since that is what
I was doing when I encountered the bug, but they all exhibit this
problem. I'm using Ubuntu 13.04, but it's the kind of thing that could
have been sitting undone for a while. It's probably worth checking
whether this bug exists upstream or whether it's been introduced by the
Ubuntu team.
Upon further checking, Bug #421294 is a particular case of this bug,
where the line reads Icon=system-run rather than Icon=applications-
puzzles. From this report and Bug #421695 it seems likely that this bug
was introduced in Karmic.
(1) or similar - I'm not entirely sure on whether this will shake out as
applications-action or applications-games-action; Gnome currently goes
one way and KDE the other but, either way, symlinks are cheap and it can
be sorted out through freedesktop.
(2) Ubuntu's own Humanity icon set includes icons of this form, but they
are not used because of this bug.
