Description: After installation of the gv package the icon of gv (located here /usr/share/pixmaps/gv.xbm) is not appearing in my menu. The launcher works well, though and the .desktop file looks correct. When I try to edit the entry for GV and add the Icon gv.xbm in the gnome menu editor, it is displayed in the property window but after I closed the property dialog it disappears again.


Additional info:
* gv version is 3.6.5-1
* archlinux is up-to-date
* Maybe this is some kind of a caching problem related to gdk-pixbuf?

Steps to reproduce: 1) Just open your applications menu in gnome and browse to "Office" where the entry GV resides. Note the missing icon.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  fixed in gv 3.6.6-1. The icon is now a png.

Somehow GTK ignores the .xbm extension. Renaming the .xbm file to .xpm fixes this bug.

Yes, you're right. But I had to tell gnome explicitly to see the new icon. Is it a bug of gnome or should somebody tell the gv maintainer to change xbm to xpm? Would be nice to fix this little bug, especially since the solution is so easy ;)
