Bug Description
Binary package hint: metacity
Using metacity 1:2.25.144-0ubuntu1 in jaunty.
When a window changes its icon, the window list panel applet updates with the new icon, but the icons in the window decoration and the alt+tab window switcher display the old one.
Restarting metacity fixes the inconsistency and displays the same icon everywhere.
There are many ways to reproduce this. Here are a couple, just to confirm it's not specific to applications:
1) Open up a new white canvas image in GIMP. The icon in the window list changes to a white rectangle, but the window decoration stays as the gimp logo. Fill the white canvas with black to see the icon in the window list change. Still no change to the window decoration icon. Kill and run metacity again to see the icon change.
2) Open a chat window in Pidgin. Ask the person to change status to "Away." Notice the window's icon change in the window list, and not in the decoration.
3) Start OpenOffice and open a document. The icon in the window list should change to a document, while the icon in the decorator will be the OpenOffice logo.
