i had restarted the panel, so that's not the problem i encountered. thanks to everyone's response, though, i was able to get it working correctly. hopefully fedora developers will decide to make this work with the standard methods (gconf), as it should.

i'm running fedora core 2 test 3 and i've been trying for two days to change the default main-menu icon from redhat's red hat to a custom one that i've been using for years. i tried changing it using gconftools-2, as i've done in the past, but it didnt work for me this time. a google search took me to http://www.ic.sunysb.edu/Stu/aaranya/redhat_gnome.html where i followed every instruction, tried every different method, and still didnt get it to work. what gives? the point of open source is to be able to customize the entire system. why would redhat deviate from the standard in this? anyone know how i can change this, the 'fedora way'? thanks for your help
Err i got my menu icon to change when changing the icon theme... i just had to restart the panel for it to take effect.

At most this is a small glitch becuase the gnome-panel doesn't notice the change. Unless you mean something different, I definitely saw the menu icon change on panel restart, and it definitely matched the icon themes i selected in the theme manager.
