Incidentally, this only happens because libSDL uses
Xutf8TextListToTextProperty() in SDL_x11vm.c to set the window title.
Commented a few lines to make it use XStringListToTextProperty() and using
SDL_WM_SetCaption() worked to set the title without any Xlib tricks.
I can't be bothered,

This is great and works fine to set first line in task switcher window

Well, apps using a HildonWindow don't *strictly* do it either (Hildon sets
the name of the binary as the first line which is odd IMHO) .
But for GTK: you get the first line by using g_set_application_name() and
then gtk_window_set_title() for the second line.
But believe it or not, this isn't

Indeed. Thanks for figuring this out. One definitely needs the -
part including spaces there. BTW as for the Mikkov's wiki code sample
Brilliant, thanks for that, I've sometimes forgot to do it when the a game
in question lets you set the video mode from the menu. That tip should help.

Hello,
Here's a SDL example:
Building and running http://olofson.net/download/parallax-2.tar.gz and
And, lo and behold, I get my icon shown:

(Ignore that the window title is shown as unknown - this is something
specific to SDL under Maemo)
Ah how I hate that bug - makes pygame apps looking so amateurish.
Checking Bugzilla, I believe no one ever reported
Not sure, I can't even bring up a task switcher in the Alpha Fremantle SDK!

stuff:

Dunno how you'd get a python equivalent (I built python-xlib and fixed it up
Hello Faheem,
thank you so much for your detailed manual :)
I got xprop from here:
deb http://austinche.name/maemo/ bora/
But libxmuu1 is required for the xprop installation, so I got libxmuu1
from here:
deb http://repository.maemo.org/ chinook free non-free
Now I started xprop via SSH and
You can use xprop to get the WMClass of the application and make a desktop
file and add the WMClass given to the StartupWMClass argument in the desktop
file. It's done with SDL apps and some Xlib apps to get the icon shown.

Hello,
my Java AWT/Swing programs don't appear in the task/window switcher when
I use openjdk-6-cacao-jre from the Jalimo project. I have the same
problem when I use Sun Java SE for Embedded 6u10 headful version.
Is there a way to put a program window into the task/window switcher?
Thank you
