no Emacs icon under GNOME?

no Emacs icon under GNOME?

[Jens Petersen]

This seems to be a FAQ, but can something be done about
getting Emacs to show its own icon on the GNOME desktop?

See for example <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=149512>.

FWIW it displays fine under KDE last I tested it.

Any ideas on how to fix this?  Someone suggested that
Emacs should set _NET_WM_ICON under X.

Have you tried with a recent CVS?  AFAIK this works now.

Ah, thanks - that is good news indeed. :)

Any reason not to enable it by default?

Ah, I forgot that I have

  Emacs.bitmapIcon:       on

in my .Xdefaults.

No, I can't think of any.  If nobody objects, I'd like to change Emacs 
so we instead have an option to turn off the bitmap icon and have it on 
by default.

Ok with me.

Checked in, new options are -nb, --no-bitmap-icon.

Does -nb have some historical use for this purpose.
Otherwise, it would be more "logical" to use -nbi than -nb IMHO.

No, I just looked at the other --no-* around it.  But I didn't see -- 
no-blinking-cursor (-nbc), so I've changed -nb to -nbi so not to be  
confused with -nbc.
