That's the 'old' system and really shouldn't be used. What you probably missed is the bit I missed from my original email - when using the new system you need to add these snippets: %post touch --no-create %{_datadir}/icons/hicolor &>/dev/null || : %postun if [ $1 -eq 0 ] ; then touch --no-create %{_datadir}/icons/hicolor &>/dev/null gtk-update-icon-cache %{_datadir}/icons/hicolor &>/dev/null || : fi %posttrans gtk-update-icon-cache %{_datadir}/icons/hicolor &>/dev/null || : to the spec. Otherwise the icon cache doesn't get updated so the icon won't be available. > > ...that sounds like you shouldn't ship a menu entry at all, to me. As > > you say, it would be rather pointless.
