Public bug reported:
Hi,
Unity ignores the application icons of programs that were not launched
using .desktop files. Instead, every application just gets a gray icon
with a question mark.
This minimal python program opens a window and defines an icon for the
application. In the gnome or kde window managers and task lists the
application appears with the correct icon.
from PyQt4 import QtGui
fname = "/usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/apps/accessories-calculator.png"
app = QtGui.QApplication([])
app.setWindowIcon(QtGui.QIcon(fname))
dialog = QtGui.QDialog()
dialog.setWindowTitle("Application with Icon")
dialog.show()
app.exec_()
