As a graphical application, IDLE, is shipped, a .desktop file should be included for intallation to /usr/share/applications. Furthermore, a 16x16 pixel version in XPM format of the Python icon should be shipped to accompany the menu entries. Attached is a tarball containing .desktop files for IDLE 2 and 3 as well as the icon.

I tried the provided .desktop files and they work with Gnome 3.4.

On Ubuntu 12.10 with Unity the task icon is a question mark. And when locked to launcher the button does not start idle.

I have the same issue with arch linux and gnome 3.8. Solution was adding "Type=Application" to idle.desktop file

For the correct icon to appear you have to copy the provided .xpm file to the given location: /usr/share/pixmaps/python.xpm This is still an issue for the current version of python 3.3. This is really easy to fix. Simply include the files already provided. I can confirm they work on Archlinux in XFCE.
