I installed Mozilla FireFox on my Gentoo system. It
installed: /usr/share/applications/mozillafirefox.desktop /usr/share/pixmaps/firefox-icon.png The desktop file shows: cat /usr/share/applications/mozillafirefox.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=Mozilla Firefox Comment=Web Browser Exec=/usr/bin/firefox %U Icon=firefox-icon.png Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Application;Network; I do see firefox in "Internet" menu, but there is no
icon. Why is that? Is KDE 3.3.2 looking somewhere else for the icon? Why
would they put it in /usr/share/pixmaps??
It is probably because KDE is not installed with $KDEDIR=/usr.
If that is the case, you either need to make a link or add it to the environment variable $KDEDIRS. Or, you can simply copy the icon to: "$KDEDIR/share/icon/hicolor/<size>/apps".
Or, it is possible that the icon will not appear till you restart KDE.
Note that /usr/share/pixmaps conforms to the XDG standards and KDE does look in: $KDEDIR/share/pixmaps for icons.
