After some searching and experimenting, I concluded the following:

1. The icon which should be resized is this one: /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/calibre-gui.png
There is another one in: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/, but it seems that it doesn't have to do anything with the issue at hand.

2. It seems that the icon is far too large (554x449 px) for Gnome (?) to handle it properly. After resizing it to 142x128 px menu looks normal.

I hope this will be of use as a temporary solution.

Kovid, is there a way to solve this automatically during the installation? Maybe some kind of DE check so, when Gnome is used, a smaller icon is provided instead of the big one?

Also, as pointed out by theducks, another icon, calibre-viewer.png is completely messed up (see the attachment). Why is that?
