[ubuntu-uk] how to change icon on main menu?

[Alan Gauld]

I've just installed Thunderbird 8 on my Ubunto 10 desktop.

I can point the Thunderbird entry in the main menu at the new T'bird 
startup file (which I've manually installed in 
/usr/local/bin/thunderbird... and it seems to work ok)

But the main menu doesnm't show the new icon and I can't see any way to 
set the icon. I'm obviously missing something?

Also is there an easier way to install T'bird other than extracting the 
folder and copying to /usr/local/bin?
