I can't help. On ubuntu, if I click on it under gnome-desktop, it simply did
not run.
All other .desktop files here _are_ 'executable'.

This worries me too. But even with the correct path, (which would make the
.desktop file working),
the problem with the icon remains.
I simply don't know, where the icon should be installed in portable way.
(Copying e.g. to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/ makes it working. But
is it portable?)
