I've created an application entry for an app in /usr/share/applications/, just like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Sample Application Name
Comment=A sample application
Exec=/opt/application
Icon=application.png
Terminal=false
Categories=Application

I noticed that many apps's Icon part in /usr/share/applications was just a file name, like application.png in the sample above. I guessed it should be a relative path. So where did most apps store its icon? If I want to follow the rule, which path should I put my icon in?
