Bug Description
On Linux Mint 11 Gnome.
The Mint-X themes have changed the icon for the Geany application.
This is bad because users identify icons with applications and that connection is now broken. By all means change the icon slightly to fit with your theme, but do not change it to something the user doesn't recognise.
The new icon itself is bad because it appears to contain text, thus limiting its association with the application to those who can read the text. Icons should never contain text in any language because it cannot be localised.

Please use an icon that's more similar to the standard icon. It's not recognizable as Geany on Mint.
