I also see an ugly icon when running QEMU as a user in GNOME. I tried running QEMU as root to see if there is any difference, but it doesn't work at all. I think QEMU should use pc-bios/qemu_logo_no_text.svg instead of pc-bios/qemu-icon.bmp.

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.
