Maybe one can add yet-another-option on the commandline and have several
icons in the exe (or on a special library or whatever). It won't solve
the problem of the default exe icon but it will solve any the
taskbar/systray/shortcuts issue.
Well, I don't know about a command-line option (sounds like a reasonable
idea), but I was at least going to preserve the white bordered icon as the
second icon in the file. That way people could use it for shortcuts and
such. Also, I think Earle's .XWinrc file may allow you to specify an
alternate icon for the tray and the default icon for each window, so we
may not need a command-line option. Anyone want to look into this to
confirm or debunk it?
It's not there today, but if people are really interested I can throw together
a patch to the parser lexx/yacc to add a "TrayIcon xxxx" line and add
the usual support for "iconfile.dll,n" where n=icon ID (ie. "shell32.dll,5"
gives the floppy drive icon). A default icon can be specified for X apps,
but again it's only for .ico files and can't index into, say, XWin.exe...
