 Creating separate ticket for this comment by lithium, as proposed by
 freedesktop.org:


 - as for pidgin.desktop: Currently the icon for the desktop launcher is
 taken from $PREFIX/share/pixmaps/ (pidgin.svg). This is the only fallback
 the theming system can find. The icons that should actually be used are
 installed to $PREFIX/share/pixmaps/pidgin/icons/$SIZE, but the theming
 system can't find them there, they have to be installed to
 $PREFIX/share/icons/hicolor/$SIZEx$SIZE/apps/ instead:

 $PREFIX/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/pidgin.png

 $PREFIX/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/pidgin.png

 $PREFIX/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/pidgin.png

 $PREFIX/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/pidgin.png

 $PREFIX/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/pidgin.svg

 [Note: 22x22 and SVG versions are not available ATM but are required as
 per icon spec]



 It is important that the icons have the same name as the application
 command.
