Public bug reported: The python icon path in each of the respective launchers for the 2.x and 3.x series seem to be hardcoded to an absolute path rather than designating the relative /usr/share/icons/... directory on the 'Icon=' line within the desktop launcher file located within usr/share/applications/
Arguments: Trivial bug yet very important to prevent inexperienced user root access and modification of system files Needed to prevent system-wide icon theme 'breakage' from non standard 'Icon=' path that should normally refer to /usr/share/icons/ when using third party themes (ex: Faenza, Numix, etc.) --- Before: Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/python2.7.xpm Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/python3.3.xpm Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/python3.4.xpm After: Icon=python ** Affects: python-defaults (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1299562 Title: ython launcher icons are hardcoded To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-defaults/+bug/1299562/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
