Ubuntu binary icons broken after bitcoin build

[BoscoMurray]

What happened to my icons in Ubuntu 16.04?

After running through the steps I thought I should follow to build Bitcoin 0.12.1, many binary files do not have the expected icon:



The steps I followed on clean Ubuntu 16.04 I got from here https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config libssl-dev libevent-dev bsdmainutils
sudo apt-get install libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev
sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev
sudo apt-get install libzmq3-dev
sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
sudo apt-get install libqrencode-dev

git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
cd bitcoin
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

I've just downloaded a few other crypto wallets, and all the binaries don't have the purple square icon but they launch OK when I start them from terminal.

What did I do?!

Nothing is wrong, that is how it is supposed to be. I forget exactly why, but I know that it is supposed to be like that due to the way that it us built.

Compressed binaries that I downloaded and decompressed, such as Dash and Monero, prior to running the bitcoin build, had the expected purple square icon.

If I download them again now, the binaries have the texty icon after extracting, so something seems different.
