[Bug 1173622] Re: Boinc Manager icon in Unity is small

[MestreLion]

@LocutusOfBorg: I've also noticed a few things regarding icons in boinc
package... the 16 and 32 icons are being registered as independent
icons, named "boincmgr-16" and "boincmgr-32", and installed to the same
path, /usr/share/pixmaps. And the .desktop uses boincmgr-32 only, the 16
one is completely ignored.

I believe it should be the opposite: registered with same name under different paths, so they would be regarded as a single icon (boincmgr) with 2 sizes (16 and 32). The OS would choose and display the appropriate size for each use (launcher/dash/nautilus listings, etc). Icons should be installed in:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/<size>/apps/boincmgr.xpm

Also, the .desktop file should not hardcode the full path
'/usr/bin/boincmgr'. Only 'boincmgr' is needed, and it would allow users
to create wrappers either locally (/usr/local/) or for their own user
(~/.local)

I've cloned the git repo and these look quite easy to fix, I can help
you guys and do this myself if you agree with my approach.

I can also include the larger icons, preferably with proper
transparency.
