Hey Ahmed,
Thanks a lot for that script. That would work wonderfully!
I can do this..

###################################################################
SetEnv fvwm_icons $[HOME]/.fvwm/images/icons/current/
#
#
#
+ "System"%$[fvwm_icons]menu.gnome-system.png% Popup MenuSystem
+ "Office"%$[fvwm_icons]menu.gnome-applications.png% Popup MenuOffice
###################################################################

And just overwrite with new icons in directory
~/.fvwm/images/icons/current/ and run that script again.
Thanks man.. Its a sure way to get all the sweet gnome icons with
virtually no work at all!

Just one more small thing? Can that script convert icons in recursive
manner?! Yeah, I am THAT lazy :P
