After some examination of kicker's sources I now have the taskbar working
again for displaying icons of apps that don't supply their own, based on the
task's className.
The code already was there, I just fixed two bugs. The original lines read
----------------------------------
// try to load icon via net_wm
_pixmap = KWin::icon(_win, 16, 16, true);
// try to guess the icon from the classhint
if(_pixmap.isNull())
KGlobal::instance()->iconLoader()->loadIcon(className().lower(),
KIcon::Small, KIcon::Small, KIcon::DefaultState, 0, true);
----------------------------------
Which should be
----------------------------------
// try to load icon via net_wm
_pixmap = KWin::icon(_win, 16, 16, true);
// try to guess the icon from the classhint
if(_pixmap.isNull())
_pixmap = KGlobal::instance()->iconLoader()->loadIcon(className().lower(),
KIcon::Small, 0, KIcon::DefaultState, 0, true);
----------------------------------
(The last line is different.)
So far so good. I can commit this patch as it seems to do the job without
side effects.
But I would rather like KWin to take care of this, so the icons in a window's
title bar, the taskbar's popup menu, the 'alt-tab-menu' and many other places
are fixed all at the same time.
And looking at kdecore/kwin.cpp, function icon() I can only conclude that I
don't understand the code there. No comments and lots of X code of which I
literally know nothing at all.
Can anybody help me out?
Or should I apply the above fix that would make kicker work and then copy
that code to all other menus and apps as well and not bother with kwin?
TIA,
Martijn
