KDE apps uses the _NET_WM_ICON property to provide a higher sized image. See my other mail for more informations. Is there anyone there who has a linux machine with KDE 3 running, which could be accessed through the internet, so that Erle could connect to this machine and try by himself ? BTW: One could use the KDE 3.1.1 release from the kde-cygwin port, but I don't know I this would be to heavy ? I'm using this for testing this icon stuff. It need some more time for starting a kde application, but with a fast machine it would be possible.
