Well, the problem is that a file in the package has the buildroot
location in it. This needs to be fixed. The file is the
lkmonitor.desktop, specifically the Icon= line. The quick work-around
is to do soemthing like this in the %install section:
sed -i 's,%{buildroot},,' %{buildroot}/share/gnome/apps/Applications/lkmonitor.desktop
However, you really ought to look at what part of the install process
is creating the file with the %buildroot value included. Also, it
seems like the .desktop file is being installed in the wrong location.
It should normally be installed in %{_datadir}/applications.
If you're using %makeinstall, you probably want to change that to:
make DESTDIR=%{buildroot} install
See:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#head-fcaf3e6fcbd51194a5d0dbcfbdd2fcb7791dd002
for some of the reasoning.

I'm not sure if there's a general list for package building or not.
But it's not off-topic for this list.
