** Summary changed:

- Icon for hotssh appears gigantic and is rendered above 1x size
+ Some app icons appear very large in lists and app screens

** Description changed:

- The application hotssh is appearing with an icon that is considerably
- larger than any other icons in Software Center. I'm attaching two
- screenshots showing this problem.
+ In some situations, an app icon appears much too large either in a
+ listing or on the app's screen.
  
+ Examples:
+ 
+ Search results and app screen
+ hotssh 0.2.6-2 and hotwire 0.721-2, software-center 5.1.14, Ubuntu 12.04 beta
+ hotwire 0.721-2, software-center 5.2.2.2, Ubuntu 12.04
+ 1. Install hotwire
+ 2. Restart software-center
+ 3. Search for hotssh and observe the icon both in the search results and in the detail view
  The icon in app-install-data, /usr/share/app-install/icons/hotwire-openssh.png, is a proper 64x64 PNG.
- However, I have the hotwire package installed, and that package adds another hotwire-openssh icon at /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/hotwire-openssh.png. That icon is 192x192px — still considerably smaller than how it appears in software-center, but likely the source of the problem.
+ But the hotwire package installed adds another hotwire-openssh icon at /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/hotwire-openssh.png 192x192px (bug 969689)

- What is strange is that this icon is not only larger than it should be,
- but stretched!
