Damn You, Gnome Icon Chooser!

One of the most annoying things. I don't encounter it too often but still.

Have you ever tried to add a new custom launcher to Gnome panel? It is very easy. Unless you want to customize the icon as well.

I was trying to add a shortcut for my installation of Eclipse. When I wanted to choose the icon a Browse Icons window appeared. Eclipse provides nice own icon which I wanted to use. I clicked Browse. Strange thing - I wasn't able to choose the icon - I was only able to pick a directory. Hm... So I picked it and guess what? Nothing. Mhm. It took me a while to realize that after choosing a directory you have to click on the address field and press enter just to see your only icon that was present in directory. Which I could just choose from the requester, didn't I?

There already is a bug (#328803 filled for it. I hope they will fix it ASAP.

I just can't stand the fact that my precious Gnome has any faults. I want it to be perfect
