I'll try to find someone with Gnome. Did it work after next login? I'm not sure how are icons updated.
Comment 2 Marcela Mašláňová 2011-11-15 13:00:08 UTC 
It's most probably bug of gnome-shell.

FWIW, if I take the file /usr/share/applications/fedora-padre.desktop and replace :
Icon=padre
with
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/padre.png

the icon shows up in gnome-shell.
Comment 5 Marcela Mašláňová 2011-11-23 13:01:55 UTC 
It should be changed in packaging guidelines if it doesn't work in short form.

I noticed other packages are touching /usr/share/icons/hicolor in %post and then managed to find 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Icon_Cache

Padre needs updating to include the relevant scriptlets.

Confirmed on F17.
Installing perl-Padre gives me the gear icon and running 'sudo /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache %{_datadir}/icons/hicolor' gives me the Padre icon.

I'm attaching the patch to the spec file needed to make it work (and it would be really cool if Padre was updated while we're at it).
Comment 8 Marcela Mašláňová 2012-05-02 16:21:06 UTC 
I wanted to fix it with update, but I run into new dependency perl-Wx-Scintilla, which is bundling and modifying original scintilla. I didn't have time to go through the whole exception process yet.
Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-14 02:04:31 UTC 
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
