On Zotero 9.0 on Linux the launcher is missing an icon it seems.

How did you install Zotero? Tarball, zotero-deb or other packages?

I installed with the tarball. I changed the icon line in the .desktop file from `Icon=zotero` to `Icon=/home/user/Apps/Zotero_linux-x86_64/icons/icon128.png` and now it is showing an icon.

This is the point of the set_launcher_icon script in the tarball, as explained in the linked instructions.
