How to add icons to gnome menu items?

[Andrew Robinson]

OK, I found the jpilot.desktop file and was able to add an icon to it. 
Thanks!

Next question: What file or file type determines what apps appear in 
what menu? In other words, how does my system know that the "More Office 
Applications" menu contains gnumeric, jpilot, kchart, etc?
