This is due to the icon caching method being used.  There is a file in 
~/.config/hayber.us/Menu that stores the icons.  There is no code to 
handle the case when the icon is changed/removed.

Just delete the file and it will be recreated and the problem will be 
avoided (til the next time an icon changes)

I should find a better way to handle this.  Maybe I can even use gtk's 
icon cache mechanism???
