Bug Description

UIFe Request on behalf of Ubuntu Budgie

The following GNOME 3.32 app were released after UI Freeze (with no previous 3.31 releases) with a different app icon name.

- preferences-desktop-font → org.gnome.font-viewer
- applets-screenshooter → org.gnome.Screenshot
- baobab → org.gnome.baobab
- bijiben → org.gnome.Notes

Except for gnome-screenshot, these releases also adapt to the new GNOME menu guidelines so I think we do need to do these updates.

Moka-icon theme is the default icon-set for Ubuntu Budgie and hence it is important to get the visuals correct on first login.

Without the proposed change, those applications will appear with GNOME upstream icons, instead of the Moka ones in our menu, this is why I consider this a UI Freeze exception.

Please see the screenshot with baobab (disk usage) and font-viewer and after the package update attachments

Please also see the source debdiff and the install log attachments

This change is addressed adding new symlinks between the new and the old icon names, without removing the latters, so that the risk of regression issues is really low, if not zero

 - if any of the applications above should appear with the old icon name, the old symlink will provide the correct icon name
 - if any of the applications above should appear with an icon name different than the old or the new, upstream icon will be used anyway as it would be without this change

Finally, the change has been tested installing the affected applications from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntubudgie-dev/+archive/ubuntu/moka-test/+packages

Grr - assuming accepted, I'll make sure the changelog includes a "(LP: #1821004)" to close this UIFe report. Apologies that I forgot to add that in the test package in the PPA.

Please notify the doc team (I don't think they care about flavours, but that's the UIF process), and then fine to upload.
