[Bug 332624] [NEW] Inconsistencies when windows change their icon

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Daniel Holbach (dholbach):

Binary package hint: metacity

Using metacity 1:2.25.144-0ubuntu1 in jaunty.

When a window changes its icon, the window list panel applet updates
with the new icon, but the icons in the window decoration and the
alt+tab window switcher display the old one.

Restarting metacity fixes the inconsistency and displays the same icon
everywhere.

There are many ways to reproduce this. Here are a couple, just to
confirm it's not specific to applications:

1) Open up a new white canvas image in GIMP. The icon in the window list
changes to a white rectangle, but the window decoration stays as the
gimp logo. Fill the white canvas with black to see the icon in the
window list change. Still no change to the window decoration icon. Kill
and run metacity again to see the icon change.

2) Open a chat window in Pidgin. Ask the person to change status to
"Away." Notice the window's icon change in the window list, and not in
the decoration.

3) Start OpenOffice and open a document. The icon in the window list
should change to a document, while the icon in the decorator will be the
OpenOffice logo.
