Summary0003027: Missing menu icons in XFCE.
Description

Some menu icons are missing from the xfce menu in kali rolling. I am using a fully updated system. The issue also persists in the live cd of the light kali version. It would be great if these icons get back because they were pretty cool back in sana :).

This bug appears to be related to the .png extension that's specified for all Icon entries in each of the Kali specific .directory files under /usr/share/desktop-directories.

Example:
Edit /usr/share/desktop-directories/01-info-gathering.directory and change Icon=kali-info-gathering-trans.png to Icon=kali-info-gathering-trans. Save the file and logout/login. The correct icon should appear for the '01 - Information Gathering' category.

Quick fix:
cd /usr/share/desktop-directories/
sed -i 's/trans.png/trans/g' *.directory
