Description Stanislav Brabec 2007-03-01 14:08:51 UTC 
gcalctool.desktop referes to gnome-calculator, which does not exist in any of public icon search paths ($(datadir)/pixmaps or $(datadir)/icons/hicolor/*/apps).

Package gnome-icon-theme provides this icon in GNOME-only path $(datadir)/icons/gnome/*/apps.

Fix:

Either provide icon in a public path (preferred) or disable gcalctool for all desktops except GNOME.

Thanks Stanislav. Any idea how I "disable gcalctool for all
desktops except GNOME?"
Comment 2 Andreas Nilsson 2007-03-12 19:00:40 UTC 
Could the gcalctool.desktop refer to accesories-calculator instead perhaps, a icon that exists in all icon themes that follows the icon-naming-spec on freedesktop.org.

You can do this with this line in the .desktop file:
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;

However, Andreas is probably right about the name of the icon.
Comment 4 Rich Burridge 2007-03-12 20:00:55 UTC 
Thanks Andreas/Vincent. I'll put together a patch (probably
tomorrow) and check it into SVN trunk/HEAD.
Comment 5 Rodney Dawes 2007-03-12 20:02:33 UTC 
Yes. For basic apps that make up the base desktop, like the calculator, file manager, etc... we have some names in the icon-naming-spec. This is so that under KDE their calculator gets shown, and gets the icon, and under GNOME we get gcalctool with the icon. As Vincent said, OnlyShowIn=GNOME is how that gets set. And as Andreas suggested, accessories-calculator would be the name to use in the .desktop file. This icon is provided by the theme, rather than gcalctool.

Vincent/Rodney, could you eyeball this and check that it's what's needed please?
It seems to work okay for me. Thanks.
