Bug Description
When running a program, an icon and the program name is displayed in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (on most operating systems). Presently, Widelands use a standard program icon which is very anonymous and says very little about what kind of program it is. I suggest this icon should be changed to the Widelands-icon which is used for the main executable as well as menu entries.

as side note: at least on linux this is not a problem of Widelands, but of the system wide installation - so the only way I can see to fix this for linux, is to add an build option "make install icon", that either installs the icons to the users icons directory or the system wide icons directory. Perhaps in that way we should as well install an desktop file (link to the program) to make widelands available to the Alt+F2 starter of the most common desktop environments.
BUT: actually I do not know any project that provides such an install feature, as normally packagers for the distributions care about that part.
On side of windows, this should work (at least it worked for quite a long time - but i remember that TinoM wrote about a problem with the icon more than a year ago... so perhaps it is still broken on windows?)
