Icon for alt-tab/application switcher

Question

I'm trying to get my program to install correctly, and it mostly does, the launcher icon looks fine, and it opens fine, but the icon used in the alt-tab/app switcher doesn't show up.

The .desktop file points to the correct location for the applications image, hence the launcher icon working, but the alt-tab icon doesn't show up...

Here is the problem in image form:

Any ideas?

Thanks

Fixed it!

Change the relative path to an absolute path in your pyqt4 designer code.

for example, change from:

icon.addPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap(_fromUtf8("../liumimages/path3194.png")), QtGui.QIcon.Normal, QtGui.QIcon.Off)

to:

icon.addPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap(_fromUtf8("/home/ikt/code/yaum/liumimages/path3194.png")), QtGui.QIcon.Normal, QtGui.QIcon.Off)

Done!
