[maemo-developers] Application Icon Broken

[From: John Mitchell]

All,

    I am having trouble getting my test application to show an icon in
the menu in the chinook SDK. I get the following error and the
application has the default icon:

hildon-desktop[12021]: GLIB WARNING ** default - Error loading icon
'hello_icon_40x40': Icon 'hello_icon_40x40' not present in theme

 I have the following in my desktop file and have the following in
/usr/share/icons/

[sbox-CHINOOK_X86: ~] > cat /usr/share/applications/hildon/maemo_hello.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Hello PyMaemo!
Exec=/usr/bin/maemo_hello.py
Icon=hello_icon_40x40
Type=Application
X-Osso-Service=maemo_hellopy
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

[sbox-CHINOOK_X86: ~] > ls -la
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/40x40/hildon/hello_icon_40x40.png

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/40x40/hildon/hello_icon_40x40.png

For grins I copied the icon to all of the directories that contained
icons for another desktop file and restarted the hildon desktop
between each copy to see if it was getting the icons from a particular
directory. Same error each time and still no icon. Any ideas what I am
doing wrong?
