Title:
  Unity displays question mark when specified desktop file icon is in a
  custom directory

Status in Unity:
  Expired
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I created a launcher on the desktop by right-clicking and selecting
  "Add Launcher...". After creating it, I right-clicked the launcher and
  set a custom icon.

  When I drag this launcher to the dash, an item appears but with a gray
  "?" question mark instead of the icon. See attached screenshot. The
  dash should use the icon from the launcher instead of displaying a
  question mark.

  I don't see any way to change the question mark in the dash to something else (does this feature exist?).
