Look up for a .desktop file corresponding to the autolaunched command?

If I start empathy on startup, the program would look for empathy.desktop  ( on my system /usr/share/applications/empathy.desktop ), which hopefully specifies an icon - and indded it does
[Desktop Entry]
blabla
Exec=empathy
Icon=empathy
blabla

I suppose that .desktop file of a command has usually name
command.desktop (as in this case empathy.desktop). This code must
already be in use somewhere, Unity uses desktop files for listing
applications in the dash afaik and so does Nautilus (for suggestions of
recommendedprograms to open a file).

Title:
  Startup applications (aka  gnome-session-properties ) should show
  icons if possible

Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  How to reproduce:
  1. Run gnome-session-properties (or alternatively via session indicator run "Startup applications..."
  2. Add Tomboy

  What happens: 
  Well, Tomboy is added and runs the next logon. But the icon is not visible. 

  What should happen:
  Well, I would like to see an icon next to Tomboy, as I see for example for System load applet

  I am not sure this is a bug in gnome-session-properties, but most of
  my applications do not have an icon so clearly something is wrong here
  (I suspect only applications that added themselves have icons) See
  attache screenshot.
