Hi,

This is not the ideal fix. A better way would be to provide a slingshot.xpm (and optionally a .png) in /usr/share/pixmaps, making sure to update debian/copyright with the source of the file.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/SupplementaryFiles for more information.

Please resubscribe sponsors when ready. Thanks!

We currently sync slingshot from Debian. Since this is a very minor patch, I do not feel it is worth diverging from Debian and maintaining a delta. Since you have already submitted your patch upstream, I would advise waiting for the Debian Maintainer to apply the patch. We can then sync the package to get the change in Ubuntu.
