No program icon for AUR installed packages

I've only installed two programs from AUR that would have icons, but neither of them use the icons that come with them. I've checked and the icons are installed in /usr/share/icons and the Icon tag is specified in /usr/share/applications/<program-name>.desktop. I'm using GNOME 3, and all I get is the default executable icon with these programs I have installed from the AUR. Is there another setting I'm missing? If it matters, the two programs I have installed are dvd95 and tagainijisho. Thanks for any advice.

Re: No program icon for AUR installed packages

Looks like an error in the packages, as they don't use a .install file .

as an example, here's the firefox.install file :

post_install() {
  update-desktop-database -q
  gtk-update-icon-cache -q -t -f usr/share/icons/hicolor
}

post_upgrade() {
  post_install
}

post_remove() {
  post_install
}

try running both commands in post_install manually (you may have to adjust the path for the 2nd command).
