I could solve part of the problem(the latter, the unresponsiveness of the item).
But I agree with you all. 12.10 doesnt automatically resize the icon if I have made a custom item and specified the icon image myself. I had to download a smaller icon of Eclipse to make it fit in the launcher. I see this being the common problem with all of us. Now, I am new to reporting bugs, and new to Ubuntu. I made this bug report 'invalid' when I found solution to my problem(part) on my own. Do you suggest me to switch it back to 'new', as we all can definitely infer that there is really no automatic resizing of custom added icons? ** Description changed: The icon for EclipseIDE in the Dash home is too big than what it is - expected to be(See attachement). Also, it doesnt respond in a single - click. On clicking a couple of times, a descriptive window opens up(See - attachment).

Seems like, 12.10 doesnt resize the icon images provided by + users for custom items. This wasnt an issue with 12.04. 1) The release of Ubuntu I am using: 12.10 - 2) The version of the package I am using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname': + 2) The version of the package I am using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname': xorg: - Installed: 1:7.7+1ubuntu4 - Candidate: 1:7.7+1ubuntu4 - Version table: - *** 1:7.7+1ubuntu4 0 - 500 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main i386 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + Installed: 1:7.7+1ubuntu4 + Candidate: 1:7.7+1ubuntu4 + Version table: + *** 1:7.7+1ubuntu4 0 + 500 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main i386 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What I expected to happen: The Eclipse icon to be of normal size, and IDE to be launched on clicking.
