The impact of this bug is said to be "[the] Firefox icon does not appear on the Desktop (because of the .png in the icon name)". I've just tested adding a thunderbird launcher to my GNOME desktop, though, and that works fine here?

You're right, this effect is not reproducible anymore but it was the case with previous Hardy alpha release. Lowering priority to low and dropping milestones.

Saivann, maybe consider to propose your branches for merging to the branches you feel they should end up in.

Alexander Sack : No, you can drop any nomination for 8.04. This was a more serious problem during Hardy alpha because it caused the icons to disappears. This problem does not appears since hardy beta. Intrepid is enough IMO.
