#### Steps to reproduce the behaviour
1. Have Caja 1.26 installed
1. Navigate to /usr/share/applications
1. Look at list of blank icons
1. Try to launch some application from the shown list

#### MATE general version
1.26

#### Package version
1.26.0-0ubuntu1

#### Linux Distribution
Ubuntu MATE 21.10

Note: It may be OK for Nautilus, but not acceptable for Caja. For me this functionality is critical.

I do not see this fix applied to impish. Jammy is also affected.
