Right, found the problem - we expect the "Icon" entry to be there - you 
can leave it empty, but do not comment it out.

With a ~phablet/local/share/applications/feedly.desktop file like so:

I can run your app with (you don't need a full path to the .desktop file 
- just the app id is enough currently):

> $ ./feedly --desktop_file_hint=feedly

This would probably be a part of bug #1204595¹. We also require the 
.desktop file to be in $XDG_DATA_PATHS/applications - so 
.local/share/applications/ or /usr/share/applications - but that's by 
design.

Hope this helps!
