Hi Israel,

A. Live

1. zmktbl.desktop

Someone (you or I) has goofed up the desktop file for zmktbl. The exec
line is

Exec=term -geometry ...

should be

Exec=xterm -geometry ...

2. mkusb icon

No, the mkusb icon does not work in the live session, but when I boot
this new iso file and use an old partition for persistence, mkusb gets
its icon correctly :-)

3. General about icons

The icon shown at the top left corner of a window is 'often' x-logo,
even when there are other icons that should be used. This was introduced
'one or two iso files ago'. Maybe it is caused by the same bug as is
causing trouble with the mkusb icon.

B. Installed

+ I installed from the built-in tarball and it worked.

1. The mkusb icon and several other icons are missing in the menu (even
the JWM Settings Manager), but they are displayed in the pcmanfm
'applications' window

/usr/share/applications

-o-

I'm sorry, but I don't know what you have been doing with the ToriOS
system files concerning icons and menus, so I have no idea how to fix
this problem. Maybe the following exercise will help you:

2. I installed xournal, and both the menu and the  pcmanfm
'applications' window could show xournal's own icon.

The following icons were installed:

/usr/share/icons/Numix-Circle/48x48/apps/xournal.svg
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/xournal.svg
/usr/share/xournal/pixmaps/xournal.svg
/usr/share/xournal/pixmaps/xournal.png

Maybe the developer of Xournal has found, that providing icons at these
locations will work in most distros. As you can see, the 'Icon line' is
very basic.

cat /usr/share/applications/xournal.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application

Name=Xournal
Comment=Take handwritten notes
Name[fr]=Xournal

Exec=xournal %f
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
MimeType=application/x-xoj;application/pdf;
Icon=xournal
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility;TextEditor;

I put the mkusb icons into /usr/share/icons/

/usr/share/icons/mkusb.svg
/usr/share/icons/mkusb.png

and I think it should work (the system should look for icons in that
directory)

Best regards
Nio
