Bug#407644: gnome: cannot select other icon when multiple extensions available

[Jaap Eldering]

Package: gnome
Version: 2.14.3-4
Severity: normal


After iceweasel was installed over firefox, I wanted to replace the new 
icon in my panel: /usr/share/pixmaps/iceweasel.png (symlinked from 
firefox.png) to the old (Debian) firefox logo
/usr/share/pixmaps/iceweasel.xpm. 

While selecting the icon from the launcher properties menu shows the new 
icon in that menu, it didn't change the icon on the panel. creating a 
symlink with a different name iceweasel-old.xpm to iceweasel.xpm and 
selecting that one did work.

So it seems that the gnome panel cannot handle multiple icons with the 
same name but different extension.
