Incorrect reference to icon in .desktop file

[MestreLion]

A snippet from /usr/share/applications/gnome-color-chooser.desktop :

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=GNOME Color Chooser
Comment=Customize your GNOME desktop
...
Exec=gnome-color-chooser
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=gnome-color-chooser.svg
Categories=GNOME;Settings;
StartupNotify=true

The line "Icon=gnome-color-chooser.svg" is naming the icon with the '.svg' extension, which is a syntax error: it should be either by name "gnome-color-chooser" only (no ".svg") or by its full path (/usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-color-chooser.svg). The former is much more preferable.

This bug makes the dashboard shows a generic "blank page" as the icon for the application. Surprisingly, the launcher is able to show the correct icon.

Hello,

Are you sure the diff should not be on the file "src/gnome-color-chooser.desktop.in"? Currently, I believe you're referring to it after its been installed either in the package build directory or from a built debian package.

You're right.. I generated the patch from the binary package instead of the *source* package as it should. /palmface moment :$

But still, the patch still holds if you just change the filenames. Actually, being such a simple edit one can do it manually and not even use a patch file.
