Here's what I did to get the emacs icon on the Applications menu (1) Right click on Applications. (2) Select Edit Menus (3) Select the sub-menu that contains the entry for Emacs (4) Select the entry for Emacs & right-click it (5) Select Properties (6) Click on the icon that appears on the left side of the dialogue box that pops up. (7) The file selector that pops up may contain the emacs icon, but you may have to browse around in other directories to see the icon you want. On my Gentoo system it is in usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/ Hope this helps, Roger
