I did a complete "find / -name '*dia*.desktop'" on my notebook and found multiple relevant files: /home/niko/.local/share/applications/menu-xdg/X-Debian-Applications-Graphics-dia_(gnome).desktop /home/niko/.local/share/applications/menu-xdg/X-Debian-Applications-Science-Engineering-dia.desktop /usr/share/app-install/desktop/dia-common.desktop /usr/share/applications/dia-common.desktop
The files in /home/ are the ones, which do not show the application name and which do use a low-quality xpm icon. Changing the icon to another one or creating a new desktop file for an entry resulted in the expected behaviours. I did find similar files for all the other mentioned examples. Where do this files come from? Should they be ignored completely or merged with the global list? How to distinguish them from valid entries like? /home/niko/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/ConvertMovie 1.1/ConvertMovie 1.1 Help.desktop /home/niko/.local/share/applications/cxassoc-cxoffice-8de7bcbe-ff14-4597-9d18-e04dd84067d4:audio_x-ms-wma.desktop /home/niko/.local/share/applications/gedit-usercustom-1.desktop -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/737777 Title: dash shows multiple icons of applications -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
