Woops, missed the explanation...
The freedesktop icon specs specify that default icons should be
installed like this:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/warzone2100.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/ghex.svg
And referred to like this:
$ grep Icon /usr/share/applications/warzone2100.desktop
Icon=warzone2100
$ grep Icon /usr/share/applications/ghex.desktop
Icon=ghex
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html
In this way, other icon themes can override default icons with icons
more suited to their theme.
