I've noticed that some packages will create a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications but when I run the app a different icon with a different name would appear on the "favorites bar" (Ubuntu dock, or dash).
I've checked in different places but I don't seem to find a duplicated .desktop somewhere else.
.desktop in usr/share/applications/
Icon that appears when app got launched
Why is that, how can I solve it? (use the same icon for launcher and when launched). Also is there a way to know the path of the icon on the second picture directly from the favorites bar?
The .desktop file on /usr/share/applications/ contains the following text:
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec=/usr/local/bin/matlab -desktop
Name=MATLAB
Comment=MATLAB
Icon=matlab.png
