Description Gianluigi Tiesi 2012-12-02 07:23:54 UTC
Created attachment 331186 [details]
proposed patch

I have a pyside (python + qt) application and icewm doesn't displays correctly the application icon, by investigating I've discovered a debian bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354434

there is an patch that workarounds the problem but uses imlib so it should applied conditionally (use imlib && epatch)

I've removed some unused parts from the patch

btw it works fine for my app but it may need some testing

sorry for delay

- you need to rdepend on x11-libs/gdk-pixbuf or compilation will fail, I wonder why the configure script does not fails
- the icon does work
- the tilebar of windows is screwed, it's transparent like it was not painted, windows cannot be moved because the titlebar it's not selectable

Then, an updated patch ready for 1.3.7 will need to be used :/
Comment 4 Gianluigi Tiesi 2013-11-10 08:48:50 UTC
sorry but icewm-1.3.7-r1 went stable and my comments at #2 are still valid
Comment 5 Gianluigi Tiesi 2014-03-07 22:30:52 UTC
Hi, unfortunately the problem persist in 1.3.8, and 1.2.37 needs a patch or it will unable to link against fontconfig

icewm-1.3.x is long gone from the tree. If this is still an issue please file a new bug preferably with a link to the upstream report.
