Bug Description

Binary package hint: vim-gnome

The /usr/share/applications/gvim.desktop file includes this line:
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/vim.svg

But it should use this:
Icon=vim

I have the Faenza icon pack installed and it provides a vim.svg icon. This icon is not used because the gvim.desktop hard codes the icon path.

However, it looks like the default ubuntu install doesn't include a vim icon. This issue was mentioned in bug 13409 (see #10). Now that there's an icon (the faenza one), can the desktop file be updated?

Or was this waiting for a humanity icon to be created for vim?
