Previously Tom also pointed to distro maintainers who could handle this.
However, in my experience, most apps built from source, by default
manage to associate an icon in the Xfce menu (and I assume Gnome and
KDE ones). Not wildly important, but it would be nice if those on
non-Mandriva systems---Gentoo, Debian derivatives, other non-RPM
systems, which mainly use the vanilla emel tarball and not the the
distro's repos---could also get the appropriate icon in the menu. As
far as I know, most distributions don't maintain emel very well. FOr
example, Ubuntu ships v0.4.1 while Debian doesn't.

Putting all emel icons in 'pixmaps' might create an unnecessary mess
in that folder. Imagine if all apps did this.

A symlink would probably be the optimal solution. Regards
