OK, I can redefine the icon for those applications. The Problem I have with that is: I can do this now. But I at some moment I would like to end up with an fvwm config, that is completly fine. But if I then install a new application, I have to define a new icon ... I understand, firefox and co. have no obligation to define their icon. But it still amazes me, that they do not. Under other wms (or better under xfce i.E.) these apps have icons. Well, since they are pretty standard, it could of course be that xfce defines the icons for them. But midori is not so much a standard program and has a icon und xfce. How could xfce find the icon for midori and can I maybe "copy" that way? I am also wondering: Can you confirm that firefox,thinderbird,pidgin and chromium do not define an Icon? Otherwise something might be wrong with my installation ... Regards, Nathan
