With the latest Q-build, there is a bad icon path in the generated ~/Desktop/netbeans4.2dev.desktop file. Currently the icon is set to {install_dir}/nb4.1/netbeans.png, but it should be {install_dir}/nb4.2/netbeans.png.
It was fixed already in trunk. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 61612 ***
