}
} Icons in the Debian menu system should be in icon format.

} Refer to menu 3. for details.

} So it means icons in png format are not allowed ?!
No, png icons are allowed, just not in menus ^.^. I know of few window
managers that can deal with png icons at all; there's WindowMaker, I
believe, but I don't think it puts icons in menus anyways.
You can look at the grip package to see how it deals with a non-xpm
icon (in this case, a tif/tiff). Just plop it into /usr/share/icons.
I believe this is the same place where wmaker-data dumps its icons
as well.
Or you can tone down the number of colors (if that's needed) and use
an xpm for complete compatibility or whatnot.
