Seems like a XFCE problem to me, reassigning.

Comment 2 Sergio 2012-11-26 19:11:59 UTC
Actually, it doesn't show icons in the menu either just like baobab (regardless of DE/GTK settings):
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=878918
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=878923

file-roller and nautilus, to give examples of other GNOME applications, both display the application icon on the panel and in the menu (if set).

I was suspecting it was by design as maybe in GNOME these aren't being displayed by default anymore.

So apparently something has changed in gdu/baobab for that, not xfwm4.
Maybe they're expecting some gsettings or other GNOME settings?
I don't see any specific errors in ~/.xsession-errors

I'm attaching xprop output for both gdu and file-roller for comparison.

Had forgotten to select 'plain/text'

Comment 7 Sergio 2012-11-27 11:03:30 UTC
I installed openbox and it's the same thing. gnome-disk-utility and baobab use a generic icon (for those windows that have no icon set to them).
So where is the xfwm4 bug here?

I know this is a minor issue but does gdu set its window icon to the same icon it uses in the menu (gnome-disks) or not?

Comment 8 Sergio 2012-12-03 20:45:01 UTC
David, it doesn't work at least with xfwm4, icewm and openbox. Could you give some clue where would the window manager be at fault here?

xfwm4 and openbox always work fine in this respect (assigning icons to windows) and this issue has appeared in 3.6 versions of some GNOME apps only (gdu, baobab).

I have no idea, sorry.

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2013-12-21 09:28:32 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '18'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be 
able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 11 Fedora End Of Life 2014-02-05 13:13:42 UTC
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
