Hi Laurent,

thanks for the report and explanation!

Just to make sure what we have to do now:

1. replace the line "Icon=info" in /usr/share/applications/info.desktop
by "Icon=dialog-information"
2. Drop recommends against gnome-icon-theme and simply assume that an
incarnation of icon "dialog-information" is part of every desktop
installation.

Please confirm!

Thanks,
  Hilmar
