<p>Install an icon to identify your application.</p>
<p>When listing an icon in a desktop file, the image must be installed in a
standard location, given by the
<link href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html">freedesktop.org
Icon Theme</link> and
<link href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html">Icon
Naming specifications</link>. As a minimum, an application should install a
48×48 pixel icon into <file><var>$prefix</var>/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps</file>
in PNG format.</p>
<p>To match with other icons, both in GNOME and other platforms, follow the
