imagemagick can be started with the command /usr/bin/

The problem is that imagemagick has two desktop files. There is the Q8 default version, and the Q16 version.
In Debian, the Q16 desktop file has been deleted in the new version of imagemagick currently sitting in experimental.
This will leave only one entry in the menu. The full program is always available on the command line.
We should probably follow this in Ubuntu.

Actually, the extra desktop file display-im6.desktop (imagemagick package) contains an executable which is just a symlink to the same binary as the display-
The icon doesn't show because there is a Spelling error "Icon: display-im6.Q16" instead of "Icon: display-im6.q16", but even if this was fixed, a link to the icon in the imagemagick-6.q16 package is missing.
As they both point at the same binary (duplicate), I have altered the imagemagick.install file so that the desktop file with the missing icon is not installed.
Please see Bug #1550210 for the patch that fixes both this bug and that bug.

OK. We can fix the duplicate menu thing ourselves, by updating ubuntustudio-menu. I have pushed a fix to the source bzr branch for that.
On Bug #1550210, I will reduce the patch down to just fixing the execution problem by settining Terminal=true in the desktop file. Hopefully it will be easier to find a sponsor then.

I also have a problem with ImageMagick in Menulibre. It installs two menu entries in the Graphics section, but they are both hidden. Changing the Menulibre to expose the shortcut, does not work. I think that the entries are missing some category assignements.

It is not recomended to use Menulibre as it will not allow your user to
see menu updates such as a fix for this problem. So far as I know
Menulibre also uses the stock xfce *menu file which is broken and not used
in ubuntustudio. XFCE are not interested in fixing this file and have
marked it as not a bug.
They are hidden because they do not work. They are installed if we want
them or not by the ImageMagick package which is a depend of another
package we do want. But the menu entrys don't work so we have hidden them
so as not to break package upgrading.

In my 16.04 LTS I tried (as possible work-around):
$ /usr/bin/
display-im6: unrecognized option `-nostdin' @ error/display.
Not working!
It works only seeting Terminal=true as suggested at #8

But not nice having an open terminal...
