[Cairo-dock-team] [Bug 485607] Re: Cannot change icon (Blender)

[Fabounet]

haha, here is the culprit !
for some strange reason, the Blender's desktop file contain a translated
version of the Iconn key :
Icon[en_US]=blender

this is a bug ! an icon name can't be translated.
This field is probably used by the dock instead of the "normal" one, hence
your problem.
it would be nice if you report this little bug to the maintainer of Blender
in Ubuntu, since I think it's rather a packaging fault
Anyway, to fix your problem, just delete the last line of the .desktop
(needs root priviledges), and re-import the launcher into the dock.
