Bug Description
This is a standard conformance issue (as of http://
The gnome-terminal is one of several applications that use an explicit suffix for their 'Icon' filed in their %.desktop
e.g.
Icon=gnome-
instead of
Icon=gnome-terminal
Assuming I'm getting this right, this means that the application's icon will always use the PNG version and never the SVG (assuming it's available). As a subsequence, several visual effects, such as compiz scale, shift-switcher and more, will display an aliased icon.
Other applications with the same issue are (that I'm aware of):
gnome-dictionary
tsclient
eclipse
gparted
graveman
gconf-editor
cddb-slave
dotedit
gnome-ppp
hwdb
thunderbird
firefox
redhat-
bum
redhat-
gnome-compiz-
ooo-template
synaptic
redhat-
vino-preferences
gucharmap
gnumeric
scim-setup
inkscape
avidemux
gnome-btdownload
(using .xpm)
icedtea-
python2.5
icedtea-java7-java
sun-java6-java
sun-java6-javaws
jabref
mplayer
fontforge
and some third-party:
nvidia-settings
vmware-player
skype
opera
