Of course the icon is displayed only if the package ships a `.desktop` file.

I have tested this on KDE Plasma. It should work on other desktop environments too. It is not implementation specific.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run the following manually or put it in your `~/.bashrc`
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=~/.local/share/:~/.nix-profile/share:/usr/share
|
|
|
|
|
ln -s ~/.nix-profile/share/applications/*.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now log out and log back in. Or if you are on KDE Plasma, you can run `kbuildsycoca4` to rebuild the application launcher.
