I have seen, that you have got already this problems. Thanks.

probably caused by 16x16x16 pixmaps.

I don*t know, what*'s was going wrong, but anyway, streching the 16x16 bit
images the 32x32 for the task switcher will not give good results.
KDE apps uses the _NET_WM_ICON property to provide a higher sized image. See my
other mail for more informations.
Is there anyone there who has a linux machine with KDE 3 running, which could be
accessed through the internet, so that Erle could connect to this machine and
try by himself ?
BTW: One could use the KDE 3.1.1 release from the kde-cygwin port, but I don't
know I this would be to heavy ? I'm using this for testing this icon stuff. It
need some more time for starting a kde application, but with a fast machine it
would be possible.
