Bug#546756: gnome-panel: gnome terminal icon shows up only when re-added,

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.26.3-1
Severity: normal

Logging in recently I found that in my panel the icon from GNOME Terminal
was missing (which I have added some time ago).

I tried to add it via 
	Add Launcher ... -> Application Launcher
but there the entry for GNOME Terminal couldn't be found, strange.

Then I added it via
	Add Launcher ... -> Custom Application Launcher

I typed in 
	GNOME Terminal
	gnome-terminal
when I had finished typing "gnome-terminal" into the command entry box
the icon changed automatically, and clicking ok the *OLD* terminal icon
re-appeared, and at the same time the new one, so I have to option
to either have two terminal icons or none.

After adding it I checked into
	.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers
and found: gnome-terminal.desktop with the contents:
	#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

	[Desktop Entry]
	Encoding=UTF-8
	Version=1.0
	Type=Application
	Terminal=false
	Icon[en_US]=gnome-terminal
	Name[en_US]=GNOME Terminal
	Exec=gnome-terminal
	Name=GNOME Terminal
	Icon=gnome-terminal

After that I logged out and re-logged in, and still there are two icons,
although only one launcher.

So can someone explain that behaviour?

Best wishes

Norbert
