Hi @mapreri,
I know about the stable distributions, but I was just wondering why this stable 
version ended up here, really old and without the install hooks.
Sorry about the PPA, must have been tired - wanted to put it in here: 
https://launchpad.net/~atareao/+archive/ubuntu/telegram
Regarding the icon problem, I just spun off a couple of clean installs, and 
from what I can tell, both work just fine with a clean install.
The original problem I've had is that there was an existing 
./.local/share/applications/telegramdesktop.desktop, pointing to 
"Exec=/opt/telegram/telegram -- %u" (probably from the binary version, or from 
the abovementioned ppa, which is just a wrapper for the binaries), and it 
wasn't removed or overwritten by the telegram-desktop app upon install. 
Apparently, they can also co-exist at the same time, but whichever one was 
installed and launched first, stays in the menu. I'll check with the maintainer 
of the PPA if I can submit a pull request for the dependencies and cleanup.

Question for the OP: @Paul Tansom: is it possible that you've had a
similar problem? Because apparently, when Mate Menu finds a broken
shortcut, it just doesn't show it in the menu, from what I can tell.

Regards,
camypaj
