Hi Gunnar,
guess I need to file a bug for the .desktop icon & launch issue ... will
take time.
Just FYI - if there is a newer version to (19.01.1-1) in -updates - it
hides pretty well as zero results after running all the various update
commands I did stumble across:
[~$] sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt upgrade
&& sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove
[~$] sudo apt update
...
*=> All packets are up to date*
[~$] sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons
...
gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons ist schon die neueste Version
(19.01.1-1).
0 aktualisiert, 0 neu installiert, 0 zu entfernen und 0 nicht
aktualisiert.
*=> the latest version 19.01.1-1is already installed*
Thanks again!
Regards,
Thomas

Well, there is a newer one in -updates.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons
Worth installing, but I doubt it will make a difference for you. (If
you end up filing a bug, you should indeed have the the version from
-updates installed.)
Can you please replicate this on your side and, e.g. create a sym
link on your desktop, change the icon in the property and confirm
that is also changes the desktop view?
I tried with a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications and figured
out a limitation: Your user needs to be the owner of the .desktop file
for a symlink to work. In my test case:
sudo chown gunnar: /usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop
Then a symlink worked fine after I had right clicked and choosen
"Allow Launching".
A changed icon was reflected on the Desktop after having relogged in.
If I wanted to report this behavior as a bug - what is the minimal
information / process required?
Not sure in this case.. A summary of this email thread would probably
be a good start. And the package candidate is obvious:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons
There you see a list of open bugs, but I don't think any of them
covers the "doesn't work at all" case. ;)
