I think it's an upstream problem, but we could be fix.
Could you please check if under gnome the problem is present or not? I hope yes so that the patch can be one for all.

For the record @matteo there are two problems using the desktop file as it is
icon is wrong (or at least the position is) and Categories is also wrong that disables the icon setting even if with the absolute path.

Fixed in svn. Matteo could you please check it and upload.
I will fix it for cauldron also

I'm on it, thanks.

I experienced three other developer packages with broken icon.
KDbg (mine)
gsharp (mono-tools, matteo)
qtcreator (qt-creator, neoclust)

Could we think to fix them all and doing one advisory text of group?

tortoisehg, Kdbg, gsharp, qtcreator are in mga4 testing.

I tested in x86_64

Hello,
are those updates still waiting for validation?

Angelo Naselli,

Can you provide an advisory and a test procedure for these updates to these 4 packages ?

Thank you :)

CC: (none) => geiger.david68210

Well I could... if i remember what i did first :)
Did I release only this package or also Kdbg, gsharp and qtcreator?

I think it would be nice to also fix other affected packages with this issue.

Note:
We will have to detail the full list of packages to avoid confusion and as well detail the test procedure.

I have uploaded tortoise-hg, Kdbg, mono-tools (for gsharp) and qtcreator 
packages for Mageia 4.

You can test this by installing the previous packages verifying they do not
have any icons into desktop menu, installing new version and finding their
icon in the menu.
