To avoid the need to copy to system directory, you can use xdg-icon-resource to
install icon resource in your homedir. I did it like that:

xdg-icon-resource install --size 48 your-icon-file.png

(where 48 is size of the icon, you can choose whatever size suits you).

In my case icon gets installed inside ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/,
so no system permissions are necessary. Icon installed that way can be easily
selected as directorymenu plugin icon and is visible under "Application icons"
(actually I found this solution just to do that).
