Description scotto 2002-06-13 21:53:19 UTC 
Package: gnome-panel
Severity: enhancement
Version: 1.4
Synopsis: tasklist icon: match panel icon
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-panel
Bugzilla-Component: Panel

Description:
I've got some X programs mapped to launcher buttons on my gnome panel. 
When I minimize them, though, these icons don't show up in the tasklist;
instead, I get a default square box.

So, I'd like this option:  When I right click on the panel icon, so that
I see the popup which allows me to set the panel icon, I'd like a new
click button that says "tasklist icon matches panel icon."  For programs
that know how to set their own tasklist icons, this would be ignored by
the tasklist applet.

This should probably be moved to gnome-panel and considered for 2.0.
Comment 2 Vincent Untz 2002-10-26 21:29:00 UTC 
s/panel/launcher in the summary
Comment 3 Christian Neumair 2004-12-26 17:51:50 UTC 
I don't get what this bug report is all about. Shouldn't apps set their tasklist
icons themselves? What does a window icon have to do with the launcher icon?
Comment 4 scotto 2004-12-26 19:24:11 UTC 
No, they don't always set them.  For example, I have a launcher that fires up an
xterm on a remote machine.  I have the launcher icon set to an icon other than
the xterm icon but in the task panel, the doesn't match the launcher.  Another
example is emacs, where the icon in the menu or the panel is the gnu symbol, but
the task panel icon is something generic.  Does this make sense now?

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all
old feature requests in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you still use gnome-panel and if you are still requesting this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be implemented.
