Epiphany Find dialogue using geek.com favicon (12.59 KB, image/png)
2005-03-18 14:15 UTC, Reinout van Schouwen 		Details

Description Reinout van Schouwen 2005-03-18 14:14:49 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Mandrake Cooker

In several themes, (Smokey Blue and Glider are affected and possibly more), the
window icon of a child dialogue (like Find in Epiphany) is wrongly inherited
from the parent. Epiphany explicitly  sets the window icon for the dialogue.
This is especially important in Epiphany because the window icon is equal to the
favicon of a website, if a favicon is set.

*** Bug 301035 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 3 Thomas Wood 2006-01-06 18:30:51 UTC 
I think this must be a Metacity or Epiphany bug because I don't think the theme has any control over what window icon is actually drawn. Does it occur in any other applications?
Comment 4 Christian Persch 2006-01-06 19:22:23 UTC 
Epiphany is just using gtk_window_set_icon_name, so this must be metacity then. The weird thing is that it's apparently theme-dependent....
Comment 5 Thomas Wood 2006-01-06 20:28:57 UTC 
Wpiphany no longer has a find window, and I can't seem to reproduce this bug with any other dialouge windows (Personal Data, Toolbars). Can you confirm this if is still a problem for you.
Comment 6 Christian Persch 2006-01-06 21:18:55 UTC 
Dup bug 301035 says this happened with the about dialogue too.
Comment 7 Crispin Flowerday (not receiving bugmail) 2006-01-06 23:04:08 UTC 
I can still reproduce this with the about dialogue.
Comment 8 Thomas Wood 2006-06-07 21:08:07 UTC 
Definitely a Metacity issue.
Comment 9 Diego Escalante Urrelo (not reading bugmail) 2007-07-25 04:07:30 UTC 
We no longer change Epiphany's window icon, closing as OBSOLETE.
Comment 10 Reinout van Schouwen 2007-07-25 07:52:57 UTC 
Reopening, this is a metacity bug regardless of whether we change the window icon in epiphany or not.
Comment 11 André Klapper 2020-11-06 20:07:59 UTC 
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue 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/metacity/-/issues/

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