Hi,

I use Lazarus via the git source code repository - not via a package (debs or rpm) installation. I tried to use the lazarus.desktop file to install an icon in the Ubuntu application menu.

I executed the following command:

  $ xdg-desktop-menu install ./install/lazarus.desktop --novendor

The menu entry appear in the Applications > Programming menu which is great, but it did not have an icon. I then looked at the lazarus.desktop file to see what filename it is looking for. Below is what I found.

========[ lazarus.desktop ]==============
...
Icon=lazarus.png
...
=========================================

Strange thing is, there is no such file in the Lazarus repository? Is this an oversight? Or am I missing something?

The installation scripts create the file by copying one of the icons.
