Re: Unify metacity and libwnck menu icons as named icons

[Michele Cella <michele cella gmail com>]

It would also be great if applications icons (used by tasklist, window 
selector and metacity) can be coherent with the icon theme.

IMHO it's not that nice to launch an application with it's launcher icon 
and look at a totally different icon on the tasklist.

Also sometimes applications launch notification picks up the right icon 
(the icon theme one) and other times a small window icon.
