I do not know the cause. I was merely presenting information on which I might have a unique perspective. <BR>

That sounds plausible... Only thing is it definitely didn't do that in
12.04; I just reinstalled Lubuntu 12.10 from scratch (not saving files,
etc.) and it still has this problem with those applications. Did the
menu use to automatically scale the icons?

repsonses. I don't think this is a bug, it's most likelysomething wrong
in a config file. And it most likely is caused by adisconnect between
some standard in 12.04 and 12.10.Here's the

going to redo my install from scratch and see if that solves
it.Sincerely,Ryan All:
Having looked at a number of Debian packages to see how they work, I
have noticed that icons can be supplied in different sizes, and
different formats.
The application (amsynth) supplies two icons in its Debian package,
putting them in the "/usr/share/pixmaps" folder:
amsynth.png (which is a more typical size, but is still
unusual, in being 48 x 49 pixels)
and
amsynth.xpm (which is much bigger (108 x 105 pixels) than
any of the other icons in that folder)
From your screenshot, the second icon (the '.xpm') is actually used.
According to the gimp graphics editor, this icon is 108 pixels wide, by
105 pixels high. Typically, an icon is 32 x 32 pixels, or 16 x 16
pixels. This one (as supplied in its Debian package) is huge.
