Talking to myself again... I've been playing with /etc/menu-methods/gnome-panel today.

Perhaps an effort to get mini-icons > made and put into packages would be good here? If an icon is named in the /usr/lib/menu file, then it will be used. I've now hacked the menu method to look in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps/ if it isn't an absolute path (e.g. gv just does 'icon="mini-gv.xpm"'). Also, the submenu entries now get folder icons, because I figured out how to generate .directory files. As for other applications not having icons- this is something that has to be changed by package maintainers. I'm sorry, but I can't sensibly put stuff in the menu method to guess which icon goes to which program :} The way to match an icon to a program is to reference it in the package's menu file, and there's no better way than that imho.
