Bug Description

Binary package hint: openbox

I am runnign crunchbang linux 9.04.1

Please take a look at this screenshot:

http://omploader.org/vMnMyaA

in it you can see that I have 6 different applications open...

gimp, abiword and firefox on the left and liferea, gedit and rhythmbox on the
right.

I have an icon theme configured through lxapperanace (in this case it is
buuf-deuce but the same applies to every icon theme i have tried.

The applications on the right are all using the theme icons, the applications
on the left are all using their original icons.

you can also see in the bottom left of the screenshot my tint2 panel showing
the original firefox icon. Tint2 (and other panels) display the "window icon" for each
application.

My question is whether openbox can force all applications running under it to
use custom icons. This will then allow tint2 and other panels to display the custom icons also.

Thank you.

From the above link it seems that this issue is out of the scope of Openbox.

So I'm wondering just what is causing the behavior that I'm seeing i.e. some applications using the theme window icon while others are using their defaults.

And is it possible to change this behavior so that all applications use the theme window icon?

I should clarify that all the applications I have mentioned are using the icon theme in all other aspects. It is the window icon that is the exception.
