Bug#728185: alacarte: icons paths are pasted without extension

[Rene Brandt]

Package: alacarte
Version: 3.10.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Well, I had this issue for some time now, but up until recently my system was
not very stable. To eliminate user errors, I just installed a fresh Debian
testing install, and still have the problem that I can't set any custom icons
using the GUI. See a more detailed description below:
   * What led up to the situation? / What exactly did you do (or not do) that
was effective (or ineffective)?
When you edit a menu entry, you can click the icon in the submenu and enter a
file picking dialogue to set another icon. When I do so, I return to the
submenu. Here, I can see my newly set icon.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
When I click OK to accept the new icon, the icon becomes "empty" for both my
application menu and within alacarte. Checking the ~/.local/share/applications
directory for the .desktop file, I found out that the extension of the image
file is not pasted at all. So for example when I set ~/foo.bar as icon, the
icon path becomes
Icon=/home/rene/foo

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
That the extension is pasted. So in the above example, the line should become
Icon=/home/rene/foo.bar
