Hi madmax
I see 2 problems:
1. The .desktop file is missing the following line:
--- Code: ---X-FullPathIcon=/usr/local/share/pixmaps/xfe.png
--- End code ---
2. The extension is missing the file:
--- Code: ---/usr/local/share/pixmaps/xfe.png
--- End code ---

OK
I was trying to edit them (comparing to other working .desktop files) before I posted but I cannot edit them with sudo mc or sudo xfe ...
Complains about being read-only file system.
Sort of lost here now.
Thanks in advance,
MM

Hi madmax
Try this:
--- Code: ---busybox cp -f /tmp/tcloop/xfe/usr/local/share/applications/xfe.desktop /usr/local/share/applications/xfe.desktop
--- End code ---
You should now be able to edit /usr/local/share/applications/xfe.desktop.
Download the attached xfe.png file to /usr/local/share/pixmaps/.
Use the Backup utility in the ConrolPanel to add /usr/local/share/applications/xfe.desktop and /usr/local/share/pixmaps/xfe.png
to your backup (filetool.lst) and then run a backup. Reboot and verify your icon is present and works.

No needed as it was present.

It lives !!!!
And works as intended. =-)
Q1:
The original .desktop file was present, I just was not able to edit it.
Your busybox line copied the one from the /tmp/loop to where it was, overwriting it (root needed).
So then I had a copy (albeit editable) of the original, which once edited enabled xfe to load as it should.
Shouldn't this new edited .desktop file be able to survive a reboot, just like the original one did?
ie: add to filetool.lst would not be needed. Or am I missing something?
Q2:
It would seem that the xfe.tcz was updated 2019/03 but could it be that it needs patching?
Rich: thank you very much for your help. Have a good week-end.
