The attached patch applied over current ebuild stop installing the icon in the pixmaps directory, installing it into the hicolor structure as required by fd.o, using different sizes (there are 4 sizes available in zsnes package) and using the zsnes name without extension in .desktop file so that icon themer can use other formats than png.

I'm not interested in adding specific support at the package level like this. The current ebuild uses the icon/menu infrastructure that is available right now. When that stuff is fixed to support the freedesktop standards better, we'll go from there.
