Regarding the resolution of the xpm the decision was taken by "somebody
else":

   http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/menu.html/ch3.html#s3.7

It also does not help to provide a larger icon - 32x32 ist just used.

This is for freedesktop.org icons (referenced in the desktop file) and
here this kind of restrictions do not apply.  That's why I said: lets
leave the xpm (which is also not reasonable for freedesktop.org) be
restricted to 32x32 and use all the differently sized *.png files -
perhaps some users might like to create desktop objects and have
different screen resolutions for instance.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
