Title:
  API needed: pixbuf icon setting support

Status in Libappindicator:
  Confirmed
Status in libappindicator package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The libappindicator API is missing the ability to set an application
  indicator's icon via a pixbuf.  This feature would be required for the
  AllTray application to successfully be ported to the AppIndicator API
  in addition to the System Tray Specification API (by way of
  GtkStatusIcon).

  The reason that this type of API is needed is because many graphical
  applications set their icons from resources either embedded into their
  executables, or in an application-specific resources directory; some
  may even be applications that are not installed on the system (think
  "portable applications").  Because of this, AllTray uses libwnck to
  pull the application's actual in-use icon from the X11 properties on
  the window that are set for the window manager, and it in turn
  displays that icon in the system tray (updating it, if necessary,
  based on signals received from libwnck).
