LibreOffice usually separates out the desktop stuff into a
subdirectory called "desktop-integration" where you should (maybe)
find an RPM/DEB/ETC that installs the XDG/FreeDesktop bits needed to
do this. (this includes all the Icons, MIME mappings, etc), so would
be preferred over manually adding Kickoff entries, if you can avoid
that.
Additionally, you might need to:
kbuildsycoca4 (or) kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
and/or logout/login again
as i've been only partially successful at times in getting the icons
to showup in the current session.
Debian Wheezy/KDE 4.8.4 seems even worse about not giving me proper
icon imagery until a logout/login cycle :-( We have an NFS shared
/usr/local/share/applications here where a firefox.desktop is
used. In Firefox 21, the icon changed location, and 'kbuildsycoca4
--noincremental' does NOT load the new icon in Kickoff (shows
blank) until a complete recycle. I dunno if plasma-desktop/kickoff
(whatever) is supposed to periodically poll or inotify() watch its
path elements for changes, but it's definitely not helping me out.
