Changing Applications menu folder icons

[Tom McLaughlin]

Hi everyone, I just installed openoffice and I went to add a new folder
for it to the gnome menu.  I used Nautilus and clicked Go --> Start Here
and created a new folder under Applications where i added launchers for
the apps.  The problem is that I selected the new folder's properties
and gave the folder an icon but when I use the Applications menu my
custom icon does not show up, instead the default folder icon appears. 
If I go into Start Here again, the custom icon is there.  I read help,
looked through the FreeBSD gnome FAQ and googled but I can't seem to
find how to change folder icons in the Applications menu.  Can somebody
help me with this?  I'm running gnome2 2.4.1 from ports which I just
updated two days ago.  Thanks a bunch.
