OK, let's see if we can get to the bottom of this. Here's how the first five items on the main-window Help menu have been specified in the gretl code to date:

1. ["manual" icon] Command reference
2. [no icon]       Function reference
----
3. [PDF icon] User's Guide
4. [PDF icon] Command reference
5. [PDF icon] Keyboard shortcuts

(And that's how I'm seeing them, on all the various gretl builds I've worked with.)

But here's how they look for Ignacio (gretl CVS compiled on Ubuntu 12.04):

1. [gretl icon] Command reference
2. [no icon]    Function reference
----
3. [gretl icon] User's Guide
4. [gretl icon] Command reference
5. [gretl icon] Keyboard shortcuts

That is, both the "manual" icon and the PDF icon are replaced by the generic gretl icon, destroying the visual distinction between the two help formats.

Now, I have no idea why the menu looks like that for Ignacio. Is anyone else seeing the same? Just maybe, the xpm files that underlie the gretl icons have got jumbled somehow. It might be worth deleting all the .xpm files in the "pixmaps" directory in the gretl source tree and reloading them from the CSV repository, and see if that makes any difference.

While I don't understand the source of the incorrect icons in Ignacio's build, I decided to make a small change in CVS anyway. Since all the PDF files have the same icon, it seemed inconsistent that entry 2 didn't have the same icon as entry 1. In addition the "manual" icon is not all that great, so I've replaced it with the stock help icon. So in CSV as of now here's how those 5 items should look:

1. [help icon] Command reference
2. [help icon] Function reference
----
3. [PDF icon] User's Guide
4. [PDF icon] Command reference
5. [PDF icon] Keyboard shortcuts
