Apparently you didn't change the icon in the new project. You do it by
clicking on the big icon button in the first tab of the project property
dialog.

I don't know, it should. I will test the package on my Ubuntu...

The menu groups listed in the dialog are defined there: 
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/menu-policy/ch2.html#s2.1

Then you have the "categories" on the bottom of the dialog, that you can 
actually change independently of the menu group.

I don't know how Ubuntu translates the menu group defined there into the 
actual menu hierarchy.

If anyone has an idea?
