  <p>Install an icon to identify your application.</p>
  
  <p>When listing an icon in a desktop file, the image must be installed in a
  standard location, given by the
  <link href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html">freedesktop.org
  Icon Theme</link> and
  <link href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html">Icon
  Naming specifications</link>. As a minimum, an application should install a
  48×48 pixel icon into <file><var>$prefix</var>/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps</file>
  in PNG format.</p>

  <p>To match with other icons, both in GNOME and other platforms, follow the
  <link href="http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines">Tango
  Icon Theme guidelines</link> when creating icons and application artwork.</p>
