Pushed a one-line solution that simply changes the requested icon in the distro-added 'nautilus-home.desktop', that is subsequently sourced by Unity. In the middle of debugging this, I also encountered a weird case where the Launcher entry for 'nautilus-home' was dropped from the static list of Launcher entries. This mask list is stored by Unity in gsettings; I had to reset the list to default with:
gsettings reset com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites which restored the full-set; currently: ['nautilus-home.desktop', 'firefox.desktop', 'libreoffice- writer.desktop', 'libreoffice-calc.desktop', 'libreoffice- impress.desktop', 'ubuntu-software-center.desktop', 'ubuntuone- installer.desktop', 'gnome-control-center.desktop'] ** Changed in: ubuntu-mono Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Package changed: ubuntu-mono (Ubuntu) => nautilus (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874265 Title: Launcher - remove the embossed 'home' image from the Nautilus Launcher icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/874265/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
