Recent update also broke icon and application naming when using Qt5 Wayland platform plugin/Wayland session (look @ attachment picture).
Occurs even with an custom icon or/and application name declared in the telegramdesktop.desktop file - but not on Qt5 xcb/x11 platform plugin.

I am affected under GNOME on X11 (Manjaro GNOME, to be specific). The problem is that the `.desktop` file specifies that the icon is called `telegram`, while actually it should be `telegram-desktop`.

desktop-file should refer icon as:

Icon=telegram-desktop

instead of

Icon=telegram

Uh, I would think the correct fix is to leave the upstream desktop file alone, and and fix our downstream hardcoded icon name.

This was fixed in  FS#57491  but the icon names were not switched to match what upstream expected: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/telegram-desktop#n84

It would also be nice if upstream would solve this problem themselves, by supplying an install target rather than making downstream packagers have to copy everything over by hand and maybe miss things.

Should be fixed now.
