Additional info...
You can always manually change the ".desktop" file and define the path to
the preferred icon by adding the "Icon" stanza, i.e.:
***
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=MyAPP
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Icon[es_ES]=gnome-panel-launcher
Exec=/my/app.sh
Name[es_ES]=MyAPP
Icon=/usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/emblems/emblem-system.svg <<-- here
GenericName[es_ES]=
***
