Re: Feature request - dynamic icon pixmap

[Sun Yijiang <sunyijiang@gmail.com>]

Yes, I can change the default icon when I create a new frame:
(make-frame '((name . "testf") (icon-type . "/path/test.png")))

But I cannot change a frame's icon by modifying its icon-type parameter:
(set-frame-parameter my-frame 'icon-type "/path/test2.png")
Nothing happens after this under GNOME or KDE

That's what I mean by "dynamic".
