It's stored in gconf. I'd suggest looking at the recently-released
sysadmin guide for how to change it systemwide.
http://www.gnome.org/learn/ has the guide. There's a key in the menu
applet's directory, you have to do something like custom-icon = true
and custom-icon-file or custom-icon-filename = filename inside the dir
for the menu button applet.

To change it per-user the process is similar, just change in the
per-user config source.

There used to be GUI for this (right click on the icon), I'm not sure
why it was disabled. It seems like a harmless setting.
