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).
