Package: menu
Version: 2.1.46
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer,

please clarify in menufile(5) that Debian's menu files require the
absolute icon path to be displayed on the user's desktop. It appears
some people believe a relative icon path would be sufficient. See

https://bugs.debian.org/738089#17

for an example. The confusion stems from the fact that the man page of
menufile states under section NOTES:

"If you want to specify an icon or hotkey for a sub-menu (for example,
the Editors sub-menu), just use the same syntax but leave the command
empty:

?package(mypackage):needs="X11" section="Applications" icon="icon.xpm" 
hotkey="E" title="Editors"

I think it would help to replace

icon="icon.xpm" with

icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/icon.xpm"

Regards,

Markus
