SUMMARY
Kate icon doesn't seem to be correctly installed when installing from a snap. Other snaps, e.g. Firefox, gimp, inkscape, etc. do correctly have icons when installed via snaps.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Ensure kate not installed via apt
2.  Install kate snap via app center, or snap command

OBSERVED RESULT
Kate application has a place holder, gear, icon for application icon on dash.

EXPECTED RESULT
Kate  application has kate icon.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
OS: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
OS Type: 64 bit
Desktop: Gnome 46
Windowing system: X11
kernel Version: Linux 6.11.0-24-generic
Kate 25.04.0 (but this has been a problem with other kate versions installed via snap, and also Ubuntu 22)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If I install kate via "apt install kate" then I have both the versions, the one installed by apt and the snap. Once I do this both versions have the kate icon.
