Thanks, Martin. I do have the file

/usr/local/share/applications/AdobeReader.desktop

and therein the line

Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/AdobeReader8.png

and an icon with that path does exists. However, the icon does not
show up in the Adobe Reader menu entry. No progress if I replace the
above line by

Icon=AdobeReader8.png

Any further ideas?
