In the Application Menu the icon for GParted what size would the icon be. They start out 16x16 and up to 512x512. I just wanted to know.
I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

Line 244 of /usr/share/applications/gparted.desktop shows "Icon=gparted ". No size shown.

well, it's not the 16x16 because that looks different.
and 48x48 is the largest gparted png icon present in hicolor, so nothing above that.
there's also the svg in scalable
so could be any of 22x22, 24x24, 32x32, 48x48 or svg
by deleting them one by one, starting at 16x16, it didn't disappear until the svg, so i assume it uses the svg if present.

Thank you ncmp.
Where does the /usr/share/applications/gparted.desktop file find it's icon=gparted icon, because a search of /usr/share/icons doesn't show the icon that is displayed with it. And it would be nice if the desktop file looked for the icon=gparted.svg icon.

Somewhere there is a link for gparted that points to a disk-partition-manager.png or partitionmanager.png icon.

ah, i only looked in nemesis and porteus-5.1-alpha, that don't have any such links in their default icon themes.
but, yes, there is in 5.01 in the Paper theme in some of the *x*/apps folders .. you'd have to delete those or overwrite them with a link to the hicolor one.
