Are you serious? Most of the time, I don't even bother to create a menu entry
for an application. The Alt+F2 menu works just fine for applications symlinked
from ~/bin. KWin demonstrates that showing the icon for such applications is
perfectly possible. So, to be frank, I think it is quite ridiculous to not
support this. It is quite surprising as well. People observing this behavior
will see a bug in KDE, there is no way to *know* that .desktop files are
suddenly considered mandatory by some software.
But, okay, in the interest of making progress let me play my your rules -- it's
your software after all. I added a menu entry for nightly using KMenuEditor.
This is what the .desktop file looks like:
$ cat ~/.local/share/applications/firefox-2.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=Browse the World Wide Web
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=/home/r/bin/firefox-nightly
GenericName=Web Browser

The issue remains the same: I started Firefox Nightly from the KDE menu, and
still, the taskbar panel shows the wrong icon. Reopening because the reason
given dos not apply any more.
