RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Matt Reid 2012-09-18 15:02:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
This is only noticeable in Fedora at this point, but since the command to run Subscription Manager is subscription-manager-gui and our icon and .desktop file are called subscription-manager, GNOME can get confused and fallback to using way smaller sizes than it should. This includes GNOME Shell ignoring our 48px icon and using a smaller one that gets super pixel-y, which it also uses in place of the 256px alt-tab icon. 

Renaming subscription-manager.desktop to subscription-manager-gui.desktop results in GNOME paying attention to our 48px icon, and using a larger icon for the 256px alt-tab instead of a 16/24/32 or whatever it was, blown way up to 256.

The other fix would be to change something in the code, I didn't quite follow what it was, but I can follow up with Ray again if anyone is curious.

Are there any other implications to doing this? Shouldn't break anything, right?

Icons after name change

My vm is a bit out of date, not sure if the alt tab icon would use a png (and render properly) instead of an svg (and have that gray bar sticking out of the icon) if it was newer, or if I hadn't mucked around with the settings trying to recreate the pixelated icons after they had been fixed on my vm.

renderings of subscription-manager icon on rhel64

Verifying Version...
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager-gui
subscription-manager-gui-1.1.11-1.el6.x86_64

[root@jsefler-6 ~]# rpm -ql subscription-manager-gui | grep desktop
/etc/xdg/autostart/rhsm-icon.desktop
/usr/share/applications/subscription-manager-gui.desktop
                                            ^^^^
VERIFIED THAT subscription-manager.desktop WAS RENAMED TO subscription-manager-gui.desktop

Using attachment 660925 [details] from mreid to verify that the name change was helpful to fedora.

SEE the attachment for "renderings of subscription-manager icon" on rhel64 which includes the subscription-manager-gui.desktop rendered using Alt-Tab.

In my opionon, these RHEL64 renderings are not pixel-y.

Moving to VERIFIED.
