I don't know what the plan is here, i.e. if iceweasel.desktop will get
the old iceweasel icon back. Atm it is broken [1].
If the transitional iceweasel.desktop is going to use the old iceweasel
icon, launching the iceweasel process would result in the shell showing
the firefox icon afaics, with your proposal.
