No menu icon

This is a problem only on Gnome, because of the way Gnome handles desktop icons.
There are several ways to fix it, but, imho, the least intrusive one would be to add a symlink in /usr/share/pixmaps.
However, I would be hesitant to do this if Debian objects, as I don't think it will be worth keeping a delta just for it.

I am not sure if it is the same problem, but on Ubuntu 8.10 the KDE4 rkward package (version 0.5.0b-2) menu entry does not have an icon on the KDE 4 desktop.

The problem seems to be this: the appropriate icons are misplaced either by design (it would be an upstream problem then) or during compiliation on Ubuntu.

The appropriate icons are installed to:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/l10n/hicolor/rkward.png
(the same for other icon sizes: 64x64 and others)
while they should go to
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/rkward.png
If you move the icons to the right place, they appear in the menu.

Also the there are two other icons missing in the UI:
One for „dataset“
and one for „script file“

I guess the problem with those icons is, that they are generic KDE icons and not those installed with rkward (in KDE3 they look like source.png and spreadsheet.png, though I may be wrong too), and when installed on KDE4 they are not found somehow.

This is still not fixed in jaunty. As the icons are there, just not in the correct location, this doesn;t seem like it should be hard to fix. Can anybody look into it?
