Most (all) application windows are expected to display an icon in a corner, often the upper left. With MATE 1.16.1, the icon for Xterm is somehow rendered as though it was painted over with a thin wash of grey paint. I'm not sure with which mate-* package this problem lies or if the problem is in the xterm package.
The icon is mangled when the application is using XWMHints() method, xterm is affected but also application using SDL1.2 framework among others. The problem occur in Debian 9 and 10 with marco window manager. See attached patch, the patch can be applied to marco source (Debian version 9 or 10).
Hello, This is a patch that improve the support for legacy icon format. Now also correctly render: xcalc/xman (1 bpp, without mask) xclock/oclock/xlogo (1 bpp, with mask) This patch apply to marco source package. Thanks
