I created a template for Xenial. Things work well w/ the AppVM based on this, but there's one hitch: most of the icons for applications do not display in the panel. The odd thing is that the icons show just fine in the Applications launcher and in Whiskers. But on the desktop panel, they just show as a lock. It gets quite difficult to find windows after a bunch have been opened without icons to clue me in. Not sure what's causing this problem because evidently the .desktop files work fine for the launcher and Whiskers.

Hi folks: Sorry, false alarm! I was quite concerned about this issue because it made Qubes potentially to difficult for me to use because I need a lot of software and files open at once, so being able to see icons is important for me. Turns out the problem resolved itself when I rebooted the system. I've been reluctant to reboot because I had a number of things open I needed to address.

Whoops, have to take that back. More icons are now showing in the panel, but far from all. Particularly important icons such as for various Libreoffice document types are not showing.

Yup, that certainly sounds like it. I probably should put a note up about various places I'm finding padlocks rather than icons. Thanks!
