Thanks. That's what I guessed, but I'm having problems with the details.

Specifically:

* does the name of the desktop file matter?
* If not, I assume it's the name field in the desktop file that is important?
* in either case, how do I find out the name that I need to use for
the application?
* Where does kde look for the icons?

The two applications I'm trying to fix are both a little strange - xv
(very old, but fast and easy to use image viewer) and wfica (part of
the ciitrix ICAClient rpm). Both of these displayed their own icons in
F14 (so kde 4.6 I think), but no longer do.

Thanks,

Chris
