I'm sorry, but I'm not a hacker, neither am I knowledgeable about X and
GTK. Could you please explain what that means for and end user?

Also, I run GNOME Shell that is packaged for Maverick, and the icons in
its task switcher are of similar size to that of Compiz task switcher
icons, and yet they don't have this problem. Please see enclosed
screenshot.

BTW can't this _NET_WM_ICON property be set in Ubuntu? Would that mean
patching every GTK application?
