yes, this is the same on my box (gimp-2.0 is one of them).

Mmm, I found the policy:
=====
3.7 The icon field

Please, make sure the icons you specify are always available on the
system. So, if you want to have an icon with your menu entry, the
preferred method is to supply the icon with that package. Also, to
prevent the distribution of icons files to turn too much into a mess,
please put all icon files in the directory /usr/share/pixmaps.

Debian package maintainers should ensure that any icons they include for
use in the Debian menus conform to the following points:

   1. The icons should be in xpm format.

   2. The icons may not be larger than 32x32 pixels, although smaller
sizes are ok.

   3. The background area of the icon should be transparent, if possible.

You can provide both 16x16 and 32x32 pixels icons using the variables
icon16x16 and icon32x32 so that the user can configure menu to use one
or the other.

If you, as a system administrator, don't like the icons in the menus,
simply change the icon() function from the file
/etc/menu-methods/menu.h, and run update-menus.

IMHO Josselin is right, I mean, no other icon format are specified :-(

Ok, ASAP I'll do so for the .png I've in 'grep .png /usr/lib/menu/*'.

Well, I open my Debian menu and I saw that some applications (not only
those that I already reported) don't have an icon. And so I'm mass
bug-reporting this minor problems :-) And yes, the bug I submitted today
for this problem are always the same, I just changed the package name
and so on.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
