Comment 37 for bug 1732482

Nathan - yes, I checked stable only. When I first reported this, the
desktop icon didn't work at all on stable, so I was pleased to see it
working now.

I did see the app icon on the desktop though - that seems to differ from
Julian's tests.

Seeing it work on the desktop was good. Of course it would be even better
if it worked as a launcher. Having the PWA install to both desktop and
launcher might be confusing. When an Ubuntu application is installed it
appears as a launcher, so that is what I think would be best for a PWA too
IMHO.
