I’m having lots of trouble getting GNOME Seahorse working on Fedora 39.
First try:
sudo dnf install seahorse
Install is successful, but the app doesn’t have any icon:
The file /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.seahorse.Application.desktop contains
Icon=org.gnome.seahorse.Application
and this is the result of fd -g "*org.gnome.seahorse.Application*" /:

Shouldn’t it pick up /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/org.gnome.seahorse.Application.svg?
Next, I try installing through Flatpak.
sudo dnf remove seahorse
flatpak install seahorse
I choose the Fedora Flatpak:
Looking for matches…
Remotes found with refs similar to ‘seahorse’:
1) ‘fedora’ (system)
2) ‘flathub’ (system)
Which do you want to use (0 to abort)? [0-2]: 1
Found ref ‘app/org.gnome.seahorse.Application/x86_64/stable’ in remote ‘fedora’ (system).
Use this ref? [Y/n]: y
Result: app appears in flatpak list, and it has an icon when I search for it in the GNOME search, but when I click the icon, nothing happens. It does work, though, when I run flatpak run org.gnome.seahorse.Application.
The file
/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnome.seahorse.Application/current/active/export/share/applications/org.gnome.seahorse.Application.desktop
contains
Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=seahorse --file-forwarding org.gnome.seahorse.Application @@u %u @@
I don’t know what the @@u %u @@ at the end means. When I run the command without it, it works.
When I install the app from Flathub, it has the same behavior (icon looks fine, but clicking it does nothing).
NB: I originally used GNOME Software for the install. I don’t remember what I did precisely, but at some point the app was installed through Flatpak (e.g., the desktop file was present), yet flatpak list didn’t list it and flatpak remove didn’t work. I had to manually clean up /var/lib/flatpak/. (PS: To be honest, after this, I ended up uninstalling GNOME Software, which was also pretty sluggish.)
