Description Calum Benson 2002-11-14 15:32:14 UTC 
Icons in the window cycling popup, window list applet, workspace switcher
applet and window menu thing in the corner need to use window icons that
respect the current icon theme.

Okay, I know this isn't actually a libwnck bug... but I've been asked to
enter it for accessibility bug tracking purposes and I couldn't think of
anywhere else to put it!  Feel free to re-categorize it to somewhere more
suitable.  (And I know I've filed it before, but I can't find it now...)
Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2002-11-14 16:00:48 UTC 
My view is that it's a GTK bug, though we may want to stick a hack in 
libgnomeui for now. A simple hack is that when something is launched
from the panel, some env variable is set based on desktop file Icon
field, which then becomes the app icon. That would work fine I think.
Comment 2 Alexander Larsson 2002-11-15 08:28:20 UTC 
Every app sets their own icon. I'm not sure we can hack libgnomeui to
fix this.
Comment 3 Anders Carlsson 2002-11-15 10:54:06 UTC 
I suppose we could add something like
gnome_window_set_icon_from_theme, not sure if it's a good idea though.
Comment 4 Havoc Pennington 2002-11-15 16:26:12 UTC 
At least some apps set the icon via libgnomeui, where you could
intercept with the .desktop file override. Of course, 
it's not quite right, as you probably override all icons in the app and
you really only want to override one.

Bah, what a pain.

Updating status_whiteboard field to reflect A11Y team's assessment 
of accessibility impact.
Comment 6 Brian Cameron 2003-07-02 10:17:18 UTC 
This a11y stopper bug would be nice to fix before the July 7th
UI freeze deadline.
Comment 7 Calum Benson 2003-08-07 16:16:19 UTC 
Apologies for spam... marking as GNOMEVER2.3 so it appears on the official GNOME
bug list :)
