Most Java programs are displayed as question marks in the Unity launcher

[Alexander Winizki]

Example: install JEdit from the software centre and then launch it from the dash. In the dash, there appears a correct icon for the program. But in the Launcher, only a question mark is displayed. The tooltip for the window reads "win0". The same applies to Oracle sqldeveloper if the user creates an appropriate .desktop file for it in /usr/share/applications. The eclipse IDE is an exception - it is displayed correctly
