Ok, I have been trying to pretty up my menus and I do a search for <pick an 
app>.  I first do something like "locate foo.xpm"  and see if I get a return.  
Then I do a "locate foo.png" and if that doesn't turn up anything.  If not 
them a just do a wider search for "locate foo" and look for icon extensions.  
I have found a few icons to say the least.  But I have run in to a situation 
wherein no *,xpm/.png exists but a *.desktop does.  Looking at this it looks 
like an icon to me!  But try to change the extension from *.desktop to *.xpm 
(or ,png) and it almost always turns into a generic/broken file page 
symbol/icon.

So,... What is the difference that make a *.desktop unique/special compared to 
a more common *.xpm/.png extensions?

TIA, Curtis.
