Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 191009
Inconsistent ~/Desktop icon
Last modified: 2013-03-05 22:45:33 EST
Description of problem: A while back, I have raised the issue that the ~/Desktop icon should not have a component from gnome default icon theme. It is not isometric perspective[1] and it does *NOT* use the Bluecurve palette[1]. In addition, the Places menu contains a different icon (which *is* Bluecurve) for the same item (the Desktop directory). Footnotes: [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/BluecurveIconGuidelines?action=show&redirect=BluecurveIconGuidelines Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Created attachment 128725 [details] ~/Desktop
It appears the Desktop icon in Nautilus is a combination of the Blueurve folder icon and the desktop emblem from /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/emblems/emblem-desktop.png and the Desktop icon in the Places panel menu is the Bluecurve Desktop icon from /usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/48x48/apps/icon-desktop.png As both icon refers to the same entity (the Desktop directory) it would make sense (and be consistent) to use one icon in both cases (Nautilus and Places)
Makes sense to me, too. Adding to FC6Target tracker.
gnome-panel uses the gnome-fs-desktop icon for the "Desktop" item in the places menu. That would have to be replaced by the icon+emblem combination used by nautilus. Note that the same icon is used by the "Show Desktop" applet, but that is probably fine to change as well
This should probably be fixed by switching all users of this icon to the icon-naming-spec name "user-desktop"
This bug was originally reported as #183015 more than a year ago. It persists till today. I wonder would it be possible to actually close it. No activity has been seen for quite some time.
The icon for 'desktop' in panel is 'user-desktop'. The emblem for ~/Desktop is 'emblem-desktop' `gnome-fs-desktop' for backwards compability to versions prior to icon name spec

This bug was filled against an old Fedora version (FC5) ans since we changed the default icon theme from Bluecurve to Mist is no longer relevant.
