Follow-up Comment #2, bug #16619 (project gnustep): Hi! Thanks for the quick response. I agree that my absolute path in the "Icon" entry isn't ideal. On the other hand, usually applications place their icons in /usr/share/pixmaps, which is at least one location in which the gnome menu creation code looks for the icon. Normally there is no need for absolute icon paths because if a distro installs them in a nonstandard place, they tweak their menu creation accordingly.
I'm not absolutely sure what I'm talking about here, but it appears that according to the FHS you shouldn't be placing gorm-related stuff in /usr/lib at all [1]. You might want to consider using /usr/share/ for architecture-independant files [2], which would place the icons probably in /usr/share/pixmaps (or /usr/share/pixmaps/gorm I'm running Ubuntu, so the path I specified is the path that the icon can be found under Ubuntu.
