How can I have an icon in the gnome-menu ?

Hello,
I've packaged my first complete Gnome application but I experience a very strange behaviour with icons in the menu. As it was done more by try/error than by real understanding, I guess I missed something. My application is called "gtg" and I've put a gtg.desktop in /usr/share/applications with the following line in it : Icon=gtg I've also put a gtg.png in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16 22x22 24x24 and a .svg in scalable. So, does it work ? Maybe. On one computer, it worked as soon as the application was installed On another computer, it required to killall gnome-panel because the icon never showed up. On the third computer, there's no icon at all. All 3 computers are Ubuntu 8.10 and I'm completely lost trying to find out what can be the cause of this problem. Also, I don't understand what the /usr/share/pixmaps folder is. Is there a good ressource about that ? It still seems like black magic to me and I hate that feeling. Thanks, Lionel PS : packages are https://edge.launchpad.net/~gtg/+archive/ppa and tar.gz for other distributions is here : https://edge.launchpad.net/gtg/+download _______________________________________________ gnome-love mailing list gnome-love@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-love |

I discovered that removing the file /usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache solved that problem.
Maybe the problem is more complex than what I thought so this mailing list might not be the best place. Where do you think I can discuss such thing ?

But in the case of a python program, there's no make file or stuffs like that. This page is indeed helpful :

It's not true for GNOME modules written in python ;-) (also, this is mostly a packaging issue in your case, so it's not about Makefile) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. _______________________________________________ gnome-love mailing list gnome-love@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-love |

Maybe because I use setup.py (which is standard in python) so I didn't see the need for a Makefile.
But maybe this is not the best place to discuss that. If so, I'm sorry for the noise.
