There is no more any emacs in the OS's side of things -- applications
edit menus etc
Also I cant see any edit menus in applications here under debian (and
I think ubuntu as well)

emacs is under my $HOME which is in my path so calling emacs from the
shell works
So I created a gnome launcher which put some generic icon.
I want to change that to the emacs icon
I am unable to do so
