Basically the sources for the icons are different. The application 
manager shows the icon it finds in the control file of the debian 
folder, while the icon in the task launcher is based on the one in the 
icons folder. But can you see the blue square as the default icon in the 
task launcher? Then your problem is probably related to a bug [1] in the 
system. Does your icon shows up after a restart?

Desktop icons

[Mats Rauhala]

Hello all.

I'm building my first application for maemo or any debian derivative. I
have barely ever done anything with .desktop files and am at loss at
where to search for more information.

My problem is that when building and installing my application for the
maemo sdk, the icons work as far as I see. I can see the icon in
program selector/menu, and when removing the application with package
manager.

I installed the cross-compiled package to my device and whilst the icon
shows when removing the application with package manager, the icon does
not show in the menu. I tried with and without maemo-optify-deb and
neither worked (unless I screwed something up)
