Since the icon already is installed to a location compliant with freedesktop.org standards you don't need to specify the icon file extension in the launcher. It will be found anyway.

This facilitates the use of non-PNG (e.g. SVG) icon themes.
Cf. this example .desktop launcher.

Hi, thank you very much! strange that I can not find mention of this in the standard.
but seems you are right! many desktop files on my system without file extension in Icon field.
thanks!
