Bug Description
Impact
------
Widelands doesn't show up in the Ubuntu/GNOME Software app.
The easiest way to fix this issue is to set Icon=widelands in its .desktop instead of pointing to a specific filename. This will also allow the app icon to scale better across resolutions by using the standard theme support.
Test Case
----------
1. Wait a day after the update is published.
2. Make sure gnome-software is not running. You can either log out and log back in or run something like
pkill gnome-software
3. Open the Ubuntu Software app.
Search for Widelands. It should show up and be installable.
4. Install the app and run the app. Its app icon should display correctly in the Activities Overview and when running.
Regression Potential
-------------------
This is a minimal fix to improve the icon specified in the .desktop.
Original Bug Report
-------------------
Hi, I'm one of the developers of the Widelands game. It has landed in Universe:
https:/
The packages are also available in Debian stable:
https:/
However, nobody can see it in the software center. Is there anything else I can do myself to get this in and then to maintain it in the future?
The game consists of 2 packages, widelands and widelands-data.
Thanks!

The widelands package/metadata needs fixing for it to appear. See http://
