[Bug 41672] Re: Tango'fied application icon

[Michael Monreal]

Just to clarify: the icon was done by Jimmac and is proposed to be used upstream for the next version of Gimp. I just thought it would be nice to have the icon in dapper already, because it fits the overall look better.

Tango is not supposed to ship individual icons for applications, only generic ones. Tangerine is currently shipping application icons, but as I understand, only as long as those icons are not used upstream. Each application is supposed to install it's icon in the required sizes to hicolor/apps. So best would be for these icons to be added to the gimp package, installing to /usr/share/hicolor/* and changing the .desktop file to use "icon=gimp"

As a minimum, the gimp package would have to change the .dektop file and install/link the old gimp icon to /usr/share/pixmaps, so that this can be used as a fallback, then these icons could go into Tangerine.
