locale specific for .desktop

[Rodney Dawes]

I have to agree with Matthias here. Icons should a) be in the theme, and
b) be in US-ASCII. The prior part is specified in the Icon Theme Spec,
and the latter in the Icon Naming Spec. An application's icon should be
named the same as the binary which is run to use the application.

The behavior is undefined where this is not the case.
