Steps to reproduce
Create an .ico file (for using the same icon between multiple platforms)
create a desktop file linking to the ico file.
here is an example of the one that doesn't work
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Version=0.9.4
Name=ChromisPos
Comment=Chromis Point of Sale
Icon=/opt/chromispos/pos.ico
Exec=/opt/chromispos/start.sh
Terminal=false
Path=/opt/chromispos
gnome-shell (possibly dashtodock) displays this icon as a wash of noise.
(see screenshot)
In 16.04 the .ico works fine, and switching to Unity desktop also shows
the .ico just fine.
