The default icons for almost all applications are missing in windowmaker When you are launching a program, the "miniwindows" must display the correct icon, in order to remember easily which program it is when dragged to the dock, without having to set manually the icon path.
Not having these predefined icons would almost annihilate a major interesting feature of windowmaker. Because after having launched many applications, you will have many miniwindows with ALL the same default icon, and you will have no way to know quickly which one corresponds to which program. So the miniwindows become unuseful, and windowmaker becomes less easy to use. (My opinion is, it's a pity to concentrate efforts on windows-like user interfaces (gnome and kde) while there is many other alternatives, and while linux is a great platform to experiment new concepts of user interfaces. And there is not a lot of work to do to improve alternative UIs)
