Comment 0 for bug 1299552

The launcher under /usr/share/applications known as hplj1020.desktop and other similar foo2zjs derived launchers use a hardcoded 'Icon=' path rather than using the freedesktop standard ( http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Howto_desktop_files/)

Temporary workarounds:

Manually editing string in synergy.desktop file under /usr/share/applications/ to append 'normal' icon name/path

Additional comments:

Trivial bug yet very important to prevent inexperienced user root access and modification of system files
Needed to prevent system-wide icon theme 'breakage' from non standard 'Icon=' path that should normally refer to /usr/share/icons/... when using third party or user-enabled themes (Faenza, Numix, etc.)
