I am running Mono executables from the Launch panel in Gnome, but I can't set the right icon. How to do that?

Try the wrestool
utility in the icoutils
package - I believe it can extract icon resources from Mono executables.
I use the same tools Colin mentioned. First install the icoutils
package. Then to extract the ico from dlls or exe, just run:
wrestool -x --output=. -t14 name.exe
That usually extracts the main icon. Then to convert the ico file to png run:
for i in *.ico; do convert "$i" "$i.png"; done
The first command works for me about 99% of the time. If it doesn't give you the right icon file you can check this more in depth tutorial. Also, you can use the wrestool man file

Unfortunately, it seems to only work with 32bit (or 16bit) .exe files. wrestool cannot find resources in 64bit .exe files.– mivkMay 29, 2013 at 15:30
