All applications set a window property which contains pixel data about their application icon, so that window managers and task switchers can display that icon where it is appropriate. > > Also, I run GNOME Shell that is packaged for Maverick, and the icons in > its task switcher are of similar size to that of Compiz task switcher > icons, and yet they don't have this problem.
