Rename icons desktop.png to github-desktop.png

I'm aiming to get #80 in for the 1.5.0 release, which renames the package from desktop to github-desktop, and will update these files to use a name:

Not just KDE, it also happens in Gnome and XFCE.

Let me suggest a bit you...

Instead of a PNG format, prefer the SVG format. Instead of Icon=desktop or Icon=github-desktop.png, you should use Icon=github-desktop (without format), so the icon pack themes, like Moka, Numix, Paper, Suru++, etc. can recognise that icon and display it.

Beside, we prefer it open only ONE SAME desktop file, because for example, see the screenshot, when I open the black icon, it opens the purple icon and closes the black icon:

BTW Same for Cinnamon (Linux Mint 18.2) It's more packaging related problem I would say...

Same for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Unity shell. Just default icon.

I've just published 1.5.0-linux1 that should address the package name issue - please try it out! https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/releases/tag/release-1.5.0-linux1

@shiftkey this issue seems to be back on 2.9.0?

@Raymo111 we're still investigating what's changed - please follow long with #559 for updates
