@Entryhazard reported:
"Might depend on distribution and desktop environment, both on Antergos and Manjaro KDE the icons showed properly to me:"

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Begin by reproducing the game shortcut behavior on Ubuntu 18.04 with GNOME, then compare it with the reported Antergos and Manjaro KDE behavior and review related issues #1299 and #442. Done means game icons and titles display correctly across the affected distro and desktop-environment combinations.
