You don't say which desktop you are using, but most are the same, I
believe. When adding applications to the menu, when you have the menu
properties open for the item, there should be a box to the left of the
command lines. Left-click in the box, it brings up the icon folders, you
should be able to change to the correct folder for your program icon and
add it to your menu item.

good luck,
