Sorry, I should have explained it better. picom.desktop has
Icon=picom
but the only icons in the repo are a copy of the compton logo, which
doesn't even get installed to avoid a conflict with x11/compton.
I personally find ugly to have menu entries without a corresponding icon
and picom doesn't have any sort of gui anyway afaik; I'm also expecting
all the users to run it from their .xsession. However, this is just my
preference and wont push for it if we prefer to ship the desktop file.
