I created a python script to run on my N800. I made a .desktop file for it, and that's installed; there's an icon for my script in the desired folder of the menu, and it works.

I initially specified no icon, and so it's showing the default. I've create a PNG, stored it in the same folder as the script, and updated the .desktop accordingly:
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=NormalizeM3Us
Exec=python /home/user/python/NormalizeM3Us.py
Icon=/home/user/python/bandaid.png
But even after rebooting, I'm not seeing my icon.

Maemo docs for the Icon field state:
If the name is an absolute path, the given file will be used.
I've triple-checked that the path is right, and loaded the PNG into the Images program so I know the image is OK. Can anyone tell me what's wrong here?
