Technically, in the grand scheme of things, the "old" way, i.e. having the APP set it's own icons, is the more widely supported and "consistent" way of doing things. The "new" way - putting the icon you want in a "well known" location - is supported but some window managers, but by no means all. I suspect that in the short term, if you want your app to have an icon regardless of which WM the end-user has, you might really have to do *both* things (and I suspect, but do not know for sure, that a lot of gnome code does do both things, actually.) However if you are only targeting that one environment, then you can probably get away with just using the "new" way and all should be well! _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
