Description Robert Roth 2010-05-20 10:43:00 UTC 
Steps to reproduce/check:
1. right-click on a launcher
2. select properties menuitem
3. click help button
4. scroll down to section 4.5.3.1

Right above the section header see the following two paragraphs:

"To choose an icon for the launcher, click on the icon button, which displays a generic icon by default. An icon selector dialog is displayed. Choose an icon from the dialog. 

To change the icon for the launcher, click on the button showing the current icon. An icon selector dialog is displayed. Choose an icon from the dialog. "

The same text twice, with a different wording.

I chose the second wording, because it seems to apply in more circumstances. The first wording refers to a "generic icon," which would not make sense to a user who had copied an application launcher from the existing gnome menu. In their case, the icon would represent the application.
