Attached is a small patch that will make NSWorkspace return a default image 
when no icon can be found for an application bundle.
It uses the common_UnknownApplication.tiff icon in the Library/Images folder of 
GNUstep. - I simply reused the GNUstep.tiff file for this purpose.

At <http://www.stupid-design.com/martin/GNUstep/shots/DefaultAppIcon1.jpg> and 
<http://www.stupid-design.com/martin/GNUstep/shots/DefaultAppIcon2.jpg> I made 
two screenshots, one using the GNUstep.tiff file as the icon and one using the 
wmaker-unknown-pov.tif which I suggested in the original post.

Summary:  No default icon for application bundles

Original Submission:  On OPENSTEP application bundles have a default icon when 
the Info.plist doesn't specify one. 

On GNUstep folders with .app extension but without icon information only show 
the default folder icon. (This could be confusing for novice users.)

The default application icon on OPENSTEP features a screen with a question 
mark. For GNUstep I propose one of the following icons:

http://largo.windowmaker.org/images/icons/tifs/wmaker-unknown-pov.tif
http://largo.windowmaker.org/images/icons/tifs/wmaker-unknown-pov2.tif

Both feature a nice GNUstep logo and a question mark.

oops I meant NSWorkspace.m... lack of sleep.

After taking a quick look at NSFileManger.m, I think that I might be capable of 
doing this myself.  :-)
So I will try it myself and send a patch if I get it to work.
