Bug Description

The python icon path in each of the respective launchers for the 2.x and 3.x series seem to be hardcoded to an absolute path rather than designating the relative /usr/share/icons/... directory on the 'Icon=' line within the desktop launcher file located within usr/share/applications/

Arguments:

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 themes (ex: Faenza, Numix, etc.)

---

Before:

Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/python2.7.xpm

Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/python3.3.xpm

Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/python3.4.xpm

After:

Icon=python
