Description Baptiste Mille-Mathias 2008-12-02 16:52:59 UTC 
The fallback icon that was displayed for application not providing a default icon is not used anymore it seems, and now the icon show the 'missing pixmap' icon instead.

The problem here is that Metacity looks up "window" in the icon theme for a default window icon.  This makes the icon themeable along with other icons, and not along with window borders as before, since the former is more appropriate.  However, no theme currently offers an icon called "window".  The fix is to add this to the default theme.

Comment 4 Baptiste Mille-Mathias 2009-03-06 17:49:16 UTC 
I guess we should revert the change to use the way it was handled prior to 2.25.0, until the icon is implemented in the spec.
Comment 5 Michael Monreal 2009-03-06 17:56:23 UTC 
Well, why not install the icon we had previously into a private icon directory? You can still have other themes take priority (e.g. just append an icon dir as a fallback).
Comment 6 Rodney Dawes 2009-03-06 18:01:46 UTC 
Metacity should probably be shipping the 'window' icon in it's own private hicolor directory, a la http://live.gnome.org/ThemableAppSpecificIcons instead of blindly depending on it being in the theme, as it seems like an app-specific icon to me, and it was already shipping this icon anyway, only loading it in another manner.
