I found some of my old bugs. I found the Default icon in GNOME menus issue, fixed in Hoary.

The bug for this one is #76495 and has been there since 2002. I sent my patch and icon even before I sent to Ubuntu maintainer, but last comment on the bug is almos 1 year old and it’s still open.

Sad enough? I have more: #166504

The main problem with old bugs like this is I’d bet the patches don’t apply anymore.
