11954	Install application icons per Icon Theme Specification	sebastic	bastiK	"How to install applications icons as used for the `Icon` entry in `.desktop` files is documented in the [http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html#install_icons Icon Theme Specification - Installing Application Icons] section:
>  So, you're an application author, and want to install application icons so that they work in the KDE and Gnome menus. Minimally you should install a 48x48 icon in the hicolor theme. This means installing a PNG file in `$prefix/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps`. Optionally you can install icons in different sizes. For example, installing a svg icon in `$prefix/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps` means most desktops will have one icon that works for all sizes. You might even want to install icons with a look that matches other well known themes so your application will fit in with some specific desktop environment.

The attached patch installs the josm icons available in the `icons/` directory in `/usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps` following the Icon Theme Specification:
