If you replace the accented characters with utf-8 I assume it works fine
too?

We can ask upstream for you but when I unpacked the file, the xpm file
had an accent in the filename.  Given it seems to be trying to parse it
as utf-8, I'd suggest you convert the filename to utf-8 or remove the
accent.

It's possible that the xfce menu system shouldn't be trying to parse it
as utf-8 though.  I'll check with upstream later.
