In order to follow the freedesktop.org Icon spec, gnumeric's icon(s) (currently only a 48x48 icon) should be installed to %%_datadir/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/gnumeric.png gnumeric.desktop should refer to it as: Icon=gnumeric And gnumeric.spec should include: %post touch --no-create %{_datadir}/icons/hicolor ||: gtk-update-icon-cache -q %{_datadir}/icons/hicolor 2> /dev/null ||: %postun touch --no-create %{_datadir}/icons/hicolor ||: gtk-update-icon-cache -q %{_datadir}/icons/hicolor 2> /dev/null ||: Also, /usr/share/pixmaps is for legacy ( <= fc3) desktops, and could probably be dropped in newer versions (targetted for fc4+)
This has been fixed in gnumeric-1.6.1-1 which should show up on a mirror near you soon.
The desktop file needs to be corrected for this change.
Disregard comment #2, looks like it took a while for the icon cache to refresh.
Actually you did find a bug, the %post script of the rpm should call gtk-update-icon-cache This has been fixed in CVS, I'll build it a soon as the buildsys is back up.
FYI A new package which does call gtk-update-icon-cache in %post has been build.
