Ok, so I wish it would ask me which menu item to use instead of extras, but that's a minor gripe :-)
i wonder if the package maintainers added a "gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor" to the "debian/postinst" script, it may have to do something with that. there's also another trick which activates the .desktop file (renaming it from .inactive to .desktop) after the icon cache has been updated, there's an example on maemo's hello-world-app. a comment in postinst (in the helloworldapp) suggests that it's not necessary if there's a "maemo-select-menu-location" later on the (postinst-)script.

do you remember if maemopad+ also had this problem? (it has the gtk-update-icon-cache and the maemo-select-menu-location in postinst)
