Hi Kevin, Thanks for the report and sorry for the delay with reply. I have mixed feelings though
1. majority of files under /usr/share/menu indeed provide full path even if under /usr/share/pixmaps 2. "Debian Menu sub-policy" http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/menu-policy/ seems to not contains anything but information on sections "Debian Menu System" document http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/menu.html/ch3.html#s3.7 giving more glory details on menu states that a. "Icons should generally be installed in the directory /usr/share/pixmaps" so general location is known/standardized b. gives examples without full paths: icon=path-to-pixmap.xpm\ so overall suggesting absence of the requirement to have full path to icon specified. wouldn't it be more productive/useful to patch openbox (and possibly others) to look in few canonical locations for the icons? (CCing openbox maintainers) or may be I am missing some other standard/policy mandating full path? if we end up fixing to the full path, we should then also fix menu-policy (CCing debian-policy maintainers) to describe the need of full path in icon entry?
