It's braindead UI design in the gnome panel applet icon selection process. Instead of double clicking on the idea/bin directory when you "browse" for the icon, just select it (ie single click to highlight) and click the open button; then you get presented with all the images in that directory including the pngs which can be used.
For example: if you have installed IntellJDIEA in path: /opt/apps/idea you must do:
In the menu -> System -> Preferences -> Main Menu
Choose group an click button "New Item"
fill Name field,
in Command field write: /opt/apps/idea/bin/idea.sh
to choose icon click button on the top-left -> new widnow popup
set the path: /opt/apps/idea/bin , you will see all icons in that folder. Choose one and hit OK button.
You dont need to convert icons to svg format. Gnome supports .png files as well.
Yes, I know how to create new item in menu, but I can not choose png as icon... It's strange.

Thanks a lot!
