In my desktop (put into /usr/share/applications/hildon) file, I have
Icon=foobar

I have put /usr/share/icons/hicolor/26x26/hildon/foobar.png (26x26) and /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/foobar.png (64x64) - but in the menu, I still see the default icon

It worked when I had single icon in /usr/share/pixmaps (with IconPath in .desktop) - but the icon was low-res. I would like to see a large 64x64 icon...

Anything I am missing?

Have you done a "gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/"?

No I have not. Isn't it done automatically by "dpkg -i"?

Anyway, I just did. It seems it helped. Thanks a bunch. Should I put it into postinstall script?

No, it seems it's a thing that has done by you on Maemo.

But, yes, the postinst script is the best place. I do it like this:

Code:
if [ -r /etc/osso-af-init/af-defines.sh ]; then
  source /etc/osso-af-init/af-defines.sh
fi

if [ -x /usr/bin/dbus-send -a -x /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache ]; then
  dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.SystemNoteInfoprint string:"Updating icon cache" || true
fi

if [ -x /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache ]; then
  gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor || true
fi
(Of course, the first 2 commands are optional; but I like to do it because it lets the user know that it is being updated which can take some time depending on the icons you have.)

Why isn't it documented anywhere?

It's mentioned here (admittedly, not in the same context)

I guess, it is worth mentioning in the packaging guide, isn't it?

Another icon-related question.

I am using gtk_window_set_icon (and set_icon_list) in order to set the app window icon. I am passing valid GdkPixbuf(s), tried sizes 26 and 64 - but still I am seeing the default icon in the task list. Any ideas?

This may be a ruby-maemo specific thing, ukki had the same problem with his ruby knots program on #maemo. (And a solution was not found to my knowledge)
