Bug Description

This is a duplicate of #600538, but since I couldn't find a way to re-open that bug...

This is happening for me in 13.10, but a commenter on that ticket suggests it was even a regression as of 12.04

kdiff3-qt does not provide a desktop file. The desktop file provided in the kde variant has some special parameters in the Exec= part which seem to confuse gnome, at least it does not start while this parameters are there.

And last, Categories are missing completely inside the desktop file.

I derived a new desktop file from the provided one which works on gnome and puts kdiff3 under category development.

Icon start to be missing in the Ubuntu 20.04 (Ubuntu 18.04 was fine). Maybe this output is related:
