    I’ve heard that there is one, and I understand the reasons to let programs decide the icon, but what’s the controversy? What makes people think it’s a bad idea?

      As usual it’s implementation if I’m not mistaken. Some say it should just be the icon on the .desktop file and move on with it, others JUST HATE THE CONCEPT OF THE DOT DESKTOP AND yada yada yada, others still want an implementation that allows on a per window basis, etc, etc, etc

        Forcing the icon from the .desktop file seems stupid, every window could need a different icon (e.g. contact list window and chat windows of an IM app, or browser windows using the website favicon)…
