For me the icon looks ugly if QEMU is run by the normal user. However, when run via sudo, it looks normal for some reason and does not display any of the white pixels.

It is loaded such that white pixels will be transparent. This can cause nasty artifacts in the display. Unless there is a specific reason to use bitmaps, I'd suggest moving to, e.g., a PNG file with a proper alpha channel.
