I want to try again to resolve the following problem:

I have placed in a desktop Panel symbolic links for two Java applications.
They display generic icons, which I would like to replace with more
intuitive icons; one of these is a PNG file, the other an ICO.

I have tried to make the replacement by clicking MB2 on the button in the
Panel, then on Configure the button, and dragging the new icon to the
existing image in the configuration window. This causes the cursor to be
accompanied by a little "Do Not Enter" icon, and the replacement has
failed.

What am I doing wrong? I have in the past replaced two other icons in this
Panel by doing the same thing, so something must have changed.

Are you using kde or gnome?

How did you create the panel item? Just by dragging it to the panel to create
a link, or did you right-click on the panel and create a real launcher
object?

I believe links have fixed icons, so if you want to have an individualized
icon, you need to create a real launcher object
