   It is probably possible to set one by adding the Icon=path-to-image   
   entry to that .desktop file. I think SeaMonkey ships with some icons   
   under [seamonkey installation directory]/chrome/icons/default.   
      
   I don't know whether you'd need to run update-desktop-database after   
   that - or something else? - to have the icon show up in these menus.
