Description Felix 2011-06-04 18:27:02 UTC 
With the recent libreoffice release 3.4, they are now shipping a icon named calc.png (instead of the previous openoffice left-over ooo-calc.png), which goes to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/{dimension}/apps/calc.png. However, this conflicts with gnome-icon-theme which comes with a /usr/share/icons/gnome/{dimension}/apps/calc.png, which is in fact a symlink to accessories-calculator.png. Therefore, gnome-shell shows libreoffice-calc with a gnome-calculator icon. 

I suggest to remove the calc.png symlink from the gnome-icon-theme. 

I'm reporting this from a archlinux install, with gnome-icon-theme-3.0.0-1 and libreoffice-3.4.0-1, this is a follow up on https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24570.

Additional Comment:
I'm not familiar with the interaction between icon themes and the icon-naming-utils, but my /usr/share/icon-naming-utils/legacy-icon-mapping.xml states:

<icon name="accessories-calculator">
  <link>gnome-calculator</link>
  <link>kcalc</link>
  <link>calc</link>
</icon>

Which would require additional editing to address icon themes other than gnome-icon-theme. Though, this falls under the freedesktop sovereignty.
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2011-06-05 15:05:55 UTC 
Yeah, these are legacy symlinks. The recommendation is to not install these from packages anymore. The goal for gnome-icon-theme is to only provide the standard icon names. In Fedora, we are packaging the symlinks as a separate gnome-icon-theme-legacy package.
