[SOLVED] Telegram-desktop icon missing

I installed telegram-desktop from the official repositories. I can launch it from the terminal without problems. But in the launcher menu, I can't find the icon. This is what I get from the terminal when I launch it:

┌─( david ) » { ~ }
└──┤ telegram-desktop &
[1] 1260
┌─( david ) » { ~ }
└──┤ QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it.
QObject::startTimer: Timers cannot have negative intervals

(telegram-desktop:1260): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 16:44:02.093: gdk_window_thaw_toplevel_updates: assertion 'window->update_and_descendants_freeze_count > 0' failed

And this is what I get when I look for it in my system:

┌─( david ) » { ~ }
└──┤ which telegram-desktop 
/usr/bin/telegram-desktop

┌─( david ) » { ~ }
└──┤ telegram-desktop --version
QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it.
┌─( david ) » { ~ }
└──┤ telegram-desktop -help
QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [SOLVED] Telegram-desktop icon missing

Which launcher menu? The package provides a .desktop file at

usr/share/applications/telegramdesktop.desktop

which should get picked up by all spec-respecting application launchers

Thanks for the reply.

I can see that .desktop file but the default XFCE launcher can't find it.

Re: [SOLVED] Telegram-desktop icon missing

I don't know how it ended up there but there was an entry for telegram in ~/.local/share/applications. Removing it, problem solved.
