the icon should be in one of the KDE direrctories for this line

/home/MaxVK/.local/share/icons
or
/usr/share/icons/default.kde/16x16/apps

In both desktop files are two icons layered above each other??
Try without the country_lang designation



With:
kde-config --help

Options:
  --expandvars              expand ${prefix} and ${exec_prefix} in output
  --prefix                  Compiled in prefix for KDE libraries
  --exec-prefix             Compiled in exec_prefix for KDE libraries
  --libsuffix               Compiled in library path suffix
  --localprefix             Prefix in $HOME used to write files
  --version                 Compiled in version string for KDE libraries
  --types                   Available KDE resource types
  --path type               Search path for resource type
  --userpath type           User path: desktop|autostart|trash|document
  --install type            Prefix to install resource files to

you can find the actual place paths.
Look at th KDE  site for declarations of type.
On the freedesktop.org site is a good help how this file should be.
