Details:


When sending the [NSApp setApplicationImage: image] message,
the application icon is supposed to change to the new icon.
When invoking it from a thread, which is not the main thread,
this doesn't happen. Instead, there are only to centered
pixels available in the dock item. These seem to change when
changing the icon, but it's just too small.

I use GNUstep startup from August 2005 and WindowMaker 0.9.

I experienced the problem when developing RSS Reader, but I
was also able to reproduce the error using a minimal
application which is able to change the app icon from the
main and another thread.

It can be downloaded from
