The discussion about the upstream bug feels like very much aimed at the
developers, e.g. see this line:

>> Gnome icon but ugly one.
>> so for developer, surely they dont want their apps with ugly icon

I think Ubuntu is much more aimed at end-users and the icon for the program
should represent its function as closely as possible... the generic icon would
be fine for applications which don't belong in any of the existing categories.
Will Ubuntu follow Gnome in choices like these? Or is there room for different
choices than the upstream package?

>> you open one submenu at time so a standard default icon should be fine

What difference would it make how much submenus are open at a time?

My main points are that there should be an icon, it should look good and it
should represent the programs function as good as possible, which a generic icon
doesn't.
