[Bug 35326] Can't choose icons for custom launchers other than from /usr/share/pixmaps

Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/35326

Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
When I want to add a custom launcher, the only directory from which I
can choose icons for it is /usr/share/pixmaps. Any other directory
chosen using the Browse window (including the subdirectories of
/usr/share/pixmaps) will have its files greyed out and not available for
selection. To use an icon from elsewhere, I have to copy it to
/usr/share/pixmaps.

(This is basically copy-pasted from #34295, but that was filed against
quick-lounge-applet and now I've found that the bug applies to the panel
and desktop as like. Because of the/ico latter, I'm not sure if the
choice of "gnome-panel" package is right though...)
