Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.20.3-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am the maintainer of a java called freeplane [1], which has an icon
with transparent edges. However, in current Debian unstable, the edges
are no longer transparent in GNOME3's left icon panel. See the green
icon in the attached screen shot.

/usr/share/applications/freeplane.desktop looks like:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Freeplane
Exec=/usr/bin/freeplane %F
Terminal=false
Icon=freeplane
Type=Application
MimeType=application/x-freeplane;
Categories=Office;
GenericName=Freeplane
Comment=A free tool to structure and organise your information with mind mapping
Keywords=Mindmaps; Knowledge management; Organize information; Brainstorming; ...;

freeplane installs these icons:
/usr/share/freeplane/freeplane.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/freeplane.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/freeplane.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/freeplane.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/freeplane.png
/usr/share/pixmaps/freeplane.png

All of these show up with transparency in eog.

Additionally, these SVGs are installed (which are used to generate the
above pngs at build time):
/usr/share/freeplane/freeplane.svg
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/freeplane.svg

Of course I am not sure that the issue is not on my side,
but the xdg-users told be to report the problem here (and I have
verified that the installed icons include transparency), so
do you have an idea about what could go wrong?

Many Thanks and Best Regards,
Felix
