  • The version of Cairo-Dock ('cairo-dock -v' in a terminal). 2.3.0
  • Your GNU/Linux distribution (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.). Linux Mint Debian XFCE4
  • Or you using OpenGL or not. I don't know.
  • Your Window manager (Compiz, Metacity, Kwin, Openbox, etc.). XFCE4, I think.
  • Your Desktop Environment (Gnome, KDE, XFCE, etc.) XFCE4


I love Firefox, but boy, does it eat the RAM! So I installed Surf, a small browser that you have to tell the URL on the command line. I have a launcher for "surf http://pandora.com" and one for "surf http://mail.google.com". I've assigned them different icons, which show in the Internet sub-dock, but in the task bar gadget, they both use the icon assigned to the Pandora launcher.

Not a major bug, but there it is.

do the launcher mix with the taskbar ? (ie, do they take an indicator when they are launched ?)
if not, then the icon in the taskbar will be the one of the surf program (probably surf.png)

I'm not sure what you're asking. I gave the two launchers icons that reflect their site, a radio for Pandora and an envelope for Gmail. So I'm not using the Surf icon at all. The different icons are present in the Internet sub-dock, but in the taskbar, both running programs show the Pandora (radio) icon.

ok I see, I guess surf is able to change its icon depending on which site it is displaying.

does the order in which you launch the surf windows matter ?

I think the order matters, but I'm in another system right now and can't check. It's a minor nuisance, so I'm ready to let it go.

Thanks for the conversation.
