I assume that /etc/fbpanel/default is a conffile in the Debian package.
If this is case, here we seem to have an obsolete conffile that is no
longer used by the packaged program.
I think that it should be removed from users' systems, but some users
may have customized this system-wide configuration file, hence a
strategy to preserve those local modifications should be implemented.

I don't know which is the recommended practice in these cases: you
probably know better.
In case you don't, maybe you should ask on debian-de...@l.d.o ...

If I understand correctly what you are saying: when fbpanel
configuration file does not explicitly specify an image to show as icon
for a given application, then the icon provided by the application
itself (if any) is shown.
If everything else fails, then
DefaultIcon = /usr/share/fbpanel/images/default.xpm
is used.

It seems to me that the behavior is still as outlined above.
I tried the following: if I don't specify an icon for UXTerm, the
DefaultIcon is shown.

I am perfectly happy with this behavior: I just want to have some more
images that may be used as explicitly specified icons!
This is why I created two new icons and sent them to the BTS: I hope
you agree that they may be useful to a number of users...
