[Vmware-package-maintainers] Bug#431932: vmware-package: Application icons don't show up on system menus

[Mike Paul]

Package: vmware-package
Version: 0.7
Severity: minor

After making and installing packages of VMware Workstation 6.0 (build
45731), I have entries for VMware Workstation and VMware Player on my
GNOME Applications menu, but neither entry displays an icon.

The .desktop files reference the icons "vmware-workstation.png" and
"vmware-player.png".  These files are provided by the vmware-common
package, but they're installed under /usr/lib/vmware/share/icons, rather
than /usr/share/icons, so the system doesn't "see" them.

Please consider installing the icons in /usr/share/icons instead.  IIRC
that's the default when using the script installer anyway.
