the problem is youa re editing a SYSTEM SUPPLIED desktop file. e is expecting
that to edit..l you edit one that belongs to you (that you created). thus it is
trying to mess with system paths not in $HOME. yes - it likely should duplicate
the desktop file into $HOME THEN edit. but it doesn't.

you havent selected an icon theme? the one selected is invalid or not there?
configure an icon theme.
