Hi all Some while ago, I asked the question regarding custom gnome-splash icons for gnome-session. It was in TODO list. It is now still there. The RIGHT way to do this thing is to modify libgnomeui (gnome-client stuff) to add the icon into the session record properties. Since this is a long way (and will break API and/or ABI compatibility), I offer not-so-bad solution with just 2 lines of code. This patch just takes the name of the executable (basename variable) and looks for the icon with same name (and any supported extension: png/gif/xpm). And as a "last resort", good old gnome-unknown.png will still be used. I checked the version from CVS - it works perfectly OK for me with this patch. Could please any of gnome-session owners review these 2 lines and submit if possible? Since the solution with the session property is rather expensive (in terms of interfaces breakage and modified code) and I see no real world situations where appname.png icon is a bad convention - I do not think this solution is too bad for its price. The patch is against HEAD but I'd love to see it in 2.2 branch too... Cheers, -- Sergey
