i'm running fedora core 2 test 3 and i've been trying for two days to change the default main-menu icon from redhat's red hat to a custom one that i've been using for years. i tried changing it using gconftools-2, as i've done in the past, but it didnt work for me this time. a google search took me to http://www.ic.sunysb.edu/Stu/aaranya/redhat_gnome.html where i followed every instruction, tried every different method, and still didnt get it to work. what gives? the point of open source is to be able to customize the entire system. why would redhat deviate from the standard in this? anyone know how i can change this, the 'fedora way'? thanks for your help

I actually just posted something on this, and yes they have changed it for some reason, I had to replace both the redhat-main-menu.png file and the gnome-main-menu.png file to contain my menu icon. I adjusted both because depending on which standard theme you use it could use either of those Icons. Let me know if you need more help with this.

Yes, and for me, even replacing the two icons in /usr/share/pixmaps didn't do it, i had to replace them in /usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/XXxXX/, for all the icons sizes.. though this may have to do with the size of my bar.. (much smaller than the Fedora default..)

The icons under /usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/XXxXX/ in my case 48x48, were all symbolics links back to /usr/share/pixmaps/, Once I found the theme I was using, Smokey Blue, I then traced the links back to /usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-main-menu.png. I had created my icon to be 48 X 48 which was about the same as the redhat-main-menu.png icon. Hope that helps!

Err i got my menu icon to change when changing the icon theme... i just had to restart the panel for it to take effect.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=122193
At most this is a small glitch becuase the gnome-panel doesn't notice the change. Unless you mean something different, I definitely saw the menu icon change on panel restart, and it definitely matched the icon themes i selected in the theme manager.

i had restarted the panel, so that's not the problem i encountered. thanks to everyone's response, though, i was able to get it working correctly. hopefully fedora developers will decide to make this work with the standard methods (gconf), as it should.

Actually, there is an entry in gconf to specify the menu use a custom icon, and aparently it worked in previous versions of either FC or Gnome (not really sure when it broke), but it does not work anymore. I set the use_custom_icon key, and set the custom_icon key to the complete path, and there is no change, even after a panel restart. Theme icons do work though, as you said. A panel restart was required for me too.

Now... before we all jump to conclusions that this was an evil plot to take choice away from users. Is this bug filed in the redhat.bugzilla.com? Or perhaps it was an upstream bug report already against the version of gnome 2.6 thats in fc2t3?
