Bug Description

In alt-tab dialog has Synaptic low resolution logo.
This dialog loads an icon from _NET_WM_ICON property, but for this synaptic window it is only 16x16 size.

This icons is posible to get by "xprop -id $XID _NET_WM_ICON", where XID you get with xwinfo app.

I hope you add, bigger icons, like 64x64 or 128x128.

Distribution: Xubuntu 13.10
Desktop enviroment: xfce
Reproducible 100%

This problem happens only in xubuntu, in ubuntu it's normal (better quality icon). This issue still happens in trusty.

I think main problem is in GdkPixbuf *get_gdk_pixbuf(const gchar *name, int size=16); declarated in rgutils.h, this function loads icon from theme with default size 16x16.

In rgmainwindow.cc and some other places is called this function as get_gdk_pixbuf( "synaptic" ); and then use icon in gtk_window_set_icon(GTK_WINDOW(_win), icon);

gtk_window_set_icon set _NET_WM_ICON property.

I think, the simplest way is set default size to higher resolution eg 64x64. But, I think, correct way is use gtk_window_set_icon_list instead gtk_window_set_icon, and defined function that loads all posible resolutions - eg. gtk_icon_theme_list_icons ();
