In the attached patch the menu file and its associated XPM icon are removed, leaving the desktop file and its associated PNG icons in its place. The PNG icons are installed in the hicolor theme following the [http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html#install_icons Icon Theme Specification]: > So, you're an application author, and want to install application icons > so that they work in the KDE and Gnome menus. Minimally you should install > a 48x48 icon in the hicolor theme. This means installing a PNG file in > $prefix/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps. Optionally you can install icons > in different sizes. For example, installing a svg icon in > $prefix/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps means most desktops will have > one icon that works for all sizes. You might even want to install icons > with a look that matches other well known themes so your application will > fit in with some specific desktop environment. The SVG icon ([https://grass.osgeo.org/uploads/images/logo/grasslogo_vector.svg grasslogo_vector.svg]) is also installed to have an icon for all size besides 48x48 & 64x64.",enhancement,closed,normal,7.0.3,Installation,svn-trunk,fixed,,sebastic@…,All,Linux
