How do I associate the correct icon for my login?

Question

After upgrading to 11.10 from 11.04, the Unity launcher shows a question mark icon for libreoffice-calc.

If I log in using Unity2D or log into the guest account (2D or 3D), the correct icon appears.

Option 1

Later edit your ~/.local/share/applications/libreoffice-calc.desktop.

Find line with:

Icon=libreoffice-calc

And change it to your save file into:

Icon=*path-you-have-saved-it*

Locate file icon in your system using search option. In my case it is like:

/usr/share/icons/Humanity/mimes/256/libreoffice-oasis-spreadsheet.svg

so your line should look like:

Icon=/usr/share/icons/Humanity/mimes/256/libreoffice-oasis-spreadsheet.svg

The second option you gave works great, I think it should be the first/only option.

Try removing it (right click > de-check "keep in launcher") then launch Calc from dash, and again right click > keep in launcher.

I tried that and unfortunately, it does not solve the problem. I also removed the application using the software center and re-installed, and that did not work either.

Problem solved. I opened up the Main Menu app and set the icon there.
