I have installed tux-commander and gtkam, but in the xfce-menue there is only the entry, but not the icon. How can I edit the menue and link the proper icon? The ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml doesn't seem to be valid (a lot of menu-entries are missing). I have installed tango, as recommended in , but I can't find anything but gnome and rodent.

Open with youre favorite editor
geany /usr/share/applications/geany.desktop
(geany is a Example !!)
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/geany.png
and edit the icon-line to the correct path. take a look in /usr/share/pixmaps.
You can also do a
gtk-update-icon-cache -ft /usr/share/icons/hicolor

I have opened /usr/share/applications/tuxcmd.desktop and added the icon-entry (e.g. Tux Commander)
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Tux Commander
Comment=A GTK2 file manager with two panels
Exec=tuxcmd
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/24754-tuxcmd.png
Categories=Application;System;
Now I can see the icon in the xfce-menu.
Your second option didn't help with gtkam and tux-commander.
How does it come, that most of the installed applications (anything else like brasero, abiword ... are linked to the png automatically?
Anyway, thanks a lot.

I am not sure but I believe that's decided in the package build. If my package needed a *.desktop file it was in the archive that yaourt d/l'd and extracted before it was installed.
What I am trying to say is that it may just be a mistake by the person who made the package build.
