This is a graphics forum so mostly graphics file formats only permitted. Anything else, zip them and attach them.
That gimp.desktop file looks ok to me. Gimp 2.8.16 standard Ubuntu 16.04 version. This shows in your menuing system and starts Gimp. That works or not?
What you are looking for is an icon on your desktop - is that correct. Try copying the gimp.desktop file to your home ~/Desktop folder
That works for most Linux desktop managers (but not KDE5 which uses widgets) I do not have a regular ubuntu around at the moment but as you see the .desktop format is text and can be easily edited (for example, change the icon)
